Abstract: We commonly observe many types of paired nature of competitions in which the objects are compared by the respondents pairwise in a subjective manner. The Bayesian statistics, contrary to the classical statistics, presents a generic tool to incorporate new experimental evidence and update the existing information. These and other properties have ushered the statisticians to focus their attention on the Bayesian analysis of different paired comparison models. The present article focuses on the amended Davidson model for paired comparison in which an amendment has been introduced that accommodates the option of not distinguishing the effects of two treatments when they are compared pairwise. However, Bayesian analysis of the amended Davidson model is performed using the noninformative priors after making another small modification of incorporating the parameter of order effect factor. The joint and marginal posterior distributions of the parameters, their posterior estimates, predictive and posterior probabilities to compare the treatment parameters are obtained.
