Setting:

The situation here is the following: We want to estimate the probability of tumours in a control group of type "F344" rats. In our latest experiment, we have fourteen rats (n=14n = 14), and we observe four tumours (y=4y = 4).

Additionally, we have historical data from seventy previous experiments, which we can use to inform our model. In total, we have xi=71x_i = 71 total experiments with nin_i rats, and yiy_i tumours, with x71x_{71} being the experiment of primary interest.

Models:

NumPyro code can be found here.

Turing code can be found here: (TBD)

The Dataset:

We have the following data from Tarone (1982) via BDA3:
