Useful distribution theory Conjugate prior is equivalent to (μ− γ) √ n0/σ ∼ Normal(0,1). Also 1/σ2|y ∼ Gamma(α,β) is equivalent to 2β/σ2 ∼ χ2 2α. Now if Z ∼Normal(0,1),X χ2ν/ν,thenZ/ √ X tν. Therefore the marginal prior distribution for μ in the bivariate conjugate prior is such that (μ− γ) n0α/β ∼ t2α 6-6 Therefore, the conjugate prior for β would be gamma (α 0, β 0). In this case, we can derive the posterior as: p (β | y 1, …, y n) ∝ β α 0 − 1 exp (− β (∑ i y i + β 0)). The gamma prior was chosen because a gamma distribution is a conjugate prior for the Poisson distribution, and indeed we can recognize the unnormalized posterior distribution as the kernel of the gamma distribution. Thus, the posterior distribution is λ|Y ∼ Gamma(α+n¯. ¯. ¯y,β+n). λ | Y ∼ Gamma ( α + n y ¯, β + n). f(y | α, β) = Γ (α) Γ (β) Γ (α + β) yα − 1(1 − y)β − 1 with ‘sample size’ parameters α and β, and where Γ(⋅) is a mathematical function called the gamma function. Conjugacy is the property that the posterior distribution is of the same parametric form as the prior distribution.

The generalized gamma distribution is a lifetime A Gamma distribution is not a conjugate prior for a Gamma distribution. There is a conjugate prior for the Gamma distribution developed by Miller (1980) whose details you can find on Wikipedia and also in the pdf linked in footnote 6. Checkout section 3.2 on page 25 of this paper, there is a prior with four parameters: p, q, r, & s Conjugate prior in essence. For some likelihood functions, if you choose a certain prior, the posterior ends up being in the same distribution as the prior.Such a prior then is called a Conjugate Prior. It is a lways best understood through examples. Below is the code to calculate the posterior of the binomial likelihood. θ is the probability of success and our goal is to pick the θ that This class of conjugate priors offers a more flexible class of priors than the class of gamma prior distributions. The usefulness of a mixture gamma-type prior and the posterior of uncertain parameters @l for the Poisson distribution are illustrated by using Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC), Gibbs sampling approach, on hierarchical models. Using the generalized hypergeometric function, the Similarly the gamma distribution can be a standard choice for non-negative continuous data i.e. $0 \to \infty$ because that's the domain of the gamma distribution. It may thus often be used as a prior for the precision $\tau = \frac{1}{\sigma^2}$ of a normal distribution. In particular, [4] used a mixture of gamma distributions, called Kobayashi's gammatype distribution [3] as a conjugate prior distribution. However, the class of mixture of gamma distributions
