In developing an estimate of the distribution of a future observation it becomes natural and necessary to consider a distribution over the space of parameters. This justifies the use of Bayes procedures in statistical inference. An objective procedure of evaluation of the prior distribution in a Bayesian model is developed and the classical ignorance prior distribution is newly interpreted as the locally impartial prior distribution.
