摘要
A general method for assessing local influence of minor perturbations of prior in Bayesian analysis is developed in this paper. U8ing some elementary ideas from differelltial geometryl we provide a unified approach for handling a variety of problexns of local prior influence. AS applications, we discuss the local influence of small perturbstions of normal-gamma prior density in linear model and investigate local prior influence from the predictive view.
