Abstract

A necessary and sufficient condition is given so that the second order probability matching priors based on posterior quantiles will be the priors under which the Bayesian and frequentist Bartlett corrected conditional likelihood ratio statistics differ by 0(l). Several examples are given to illustrate the idea.
