On the choice of prior density for the Bayesian analysis of pedigree structure.

Abstract excerpt

This article is concerned with the choice of structural prior density for use in a fully Bayesian approach to pedigree inference. It is found that the choice of prior has considerable influence on the accuracy of the estimation. To guide this choice, a scale invariance property is introduced. Under a structural prior with this property, the marginal prior distribution of the local properties of a pedigree node...
