Prior Selection: A Review
Keywords:
Prior Distribution, Bayesian Inference, Selection, DrawingAbstract
The prior distribution is the key to Bayesian inference and its determination is therefore the mostimportant step in drawing this inference. To some extent, it is also the most dicult. In this paper,we'll review dierent approaches of choosing prior distribution.
