Resumen
En este trabajo se estudia el proceso de Bernouilli desde una perspectiva bayesiana. El análisis no se limita a la conocida obtención de las distribuciones finales que corresponden a una determinada familia de distribuciones iniciales. Así, se estudian con detalle los problemas de la especificación de la distribución inicial, y la determinación del tamaño muestral adecuado a las necesidades del investigador. Mediante el análisis de un conjunto de datos farmacológicos, se ejemplican los resultados y se ilustran una vez más la flexibilidad y elegancia de los métodos bayesianos.
Summary
In the paper, the Bernouilli process is studied from a Bayesian point of view. The analysis is not limited to the well-known obtention of posterior distributions from some specified class of priors. Thus, we study in detail the assessment of the priors distribution and the choice of the sample size which suits the scientist's needs. By analysing some farmacological data, the results are illustrated and the flexibility and elegance of Bayesian methods demostrated once more.
