Abstract

In the Statistical Reference Datasets (StRD) project, NIST provided datasets on the web (http://www.itl.nist.gov/div898/strd/) with certified values for assessing the numerical accuracy of software for univariate statistics, linear regression, nonlinear regression, and analysis of variance. Bayesian analysis using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) is a relatively new
