One side concept introduced introduced in the second Bayesian lecture is the conjugate prior. Simply put, a prior distribution π (0) is called conjugate to the data model, given by the likelihoodfunction L (Xi θ if the posterior distribution π (ex 2, , . , X ) is part of the same distribution family as the prior. This problem will give you some more practice on computing posterior distributions, where we make use of the proportionality notation. It would be...
