Under a Dirichlet prior distribution, the exact posterior distribution of the ratio is derived. The tail confidence interval and the highest posterior density (HPD) interval are studied, and their frequentist performances are investigated by simulation in terms of mean coverage probability and mean expected length of the interval. An advantage of Bayesian confidence interval is that it is always well defined for any data structure and has shorter mean expected width. We also find that the Bayesian tail interval at Jeffreys prior performs as well as or better than the frequentist confidence intervals.Read More
