- Hello,
-
-
-
- I would like to know what are the conjugate prior densities of a Gamma
- distribution.
- In other words, if $a$ and $l$ are the parameters of the
- following Gamma density:
- \[
- \gamma(a,l,x) = a^l / \Gamma(l) \times x^{l-1} \times \exp(-a.x)
- \]
- what are the prior densities of:
- a (l is known and fixed),
- l (a is known and fixed),
- (a,l) (joint conjugate prior density)?
-
-
- Please answer by e-mail. Thanks in advance,
-
- Olivier
