Dirichlet-Poisson-Binomial estimates with the flat prior. Probability estimates and inferences for S. cerevisiae log-phase data based on the DPB model with flat prior, α _i = 1, for all genes. The 20 genes with the largest tag counts are arranged in decreasing rank order along the x-axis. The observed tag proportions are marked in open circles, the bias corrected MLE in open triangles. The analytically computed posterior mode when α _i = 1 coincides exactly with the corrected MLE. Also included are the estimated posterior mean and upper and lower marginal 95% Bayesian posterior bounds based on MCMC sampling.
