Abstract: In this paper, a new approximation of the marginal posterior distribution function is obtained. Moreover, for the location-scale model, by applying the shrinkage argument, a new approximation of the conditional distribution function of the signed likelihood ratio statistic given an ancillary statistic is derived from the approximated marginal posterior distribution.
