Topic 19: Learning About Two Proportions

Minitab Local Macro pp_prior

Constructs prior distribution for (p1, p2) using discrete models.

TO RUN:

Name three Minitab columns 'p1', 'p2', and 'prior'. Suppose you wish to construct a uniform prior for two proportions, where each proportion value takes on 9 equally spaced values between .1 and .9. To place the prior distribution in columns 'p1', 'p2', 'prior', type the following command in the Minitab Session Window.

MTB > %pp_prior 'p1' 'p2' 'prior';

SUBC> gsize 9;

SUBC> limit .1 .9 .1 .9.
