May 8, 2018 at 17:38 comment added user207460 So the error is not the border of integration, but I have to add an indicator function in the likelihhod? Could you please state the correct formula?
May 8, 2018 at 16:58 comment added whuber The value of the Pareto PDF for any $x_i \lt k$ is, by definition, zero. You haven't accounted for that in your formula for the distribution. Your integral formula cannot be correct because it doesn't depend on $x$ at all.
May 8, 2018 at 16:13 comment added user207460 I fixed this problem by taking the integral from $max(x_1,\dots,x_n, k )$ intsead of k to $\infty$, but why is it so and why is the lower bound not simply $k$?
May 8, 2018 at 15:59 comment added user207460 @whuber I obtained this expression by formula from wikipedia and just plugged in prior and a-priori-density, but I have seen that the correct expression should be the one on the right and this is not equal to my result, what did I do wrong?
May 8, 2018 at 11:12 comment added whuber Please explain how you obtained your expression for $p(\theta\mid x),$ since evidently it doesn't depend on $x$ at all!
