Tumor count comparisons: Reconsider the tumor count data in Exercise
3.3:
a) For the prior distribution given in part a) of that exercise, obtain
Pr(B < A|yA, yB) via Monte Carlo sampling.
b) For a range of values of n0, obtain Pr(B < A|yA, yB) for A
gamma(120, 10) and B gamma(12n0, n0). Describe how sensitive
the conclusions about the event {B < A} are to the prior distribution
on B.
c) Repeat parts a) and b), replacing the event {B < A} with the event
{ YB < YA}, where YA and YB are samples from the posterior predictive
distribution.
