% EXAMPLE2.m % Learning about a normal mean % Using continuous vague prior [Albert (1996), p. 124]. % Learning about a N(M, s2) population with both M and % s2 unknown. Assign the usual vague prior to (M, s2) % proportional to 1/s2. data=[182 172 173 176 176 180 173 174 179 175]; % observed data num=1000; % size of simulation sample of computation [m_sim,s_sim]=m_cont(data,num); % m_sim is vector containing simulated sample from marginal posterior % density of M and s_sim contains sample from marginal posterior % density of standard deviation s=sqrt(s2)
