inverse.gamma: Define an inverse gamma prior distribution
In bayesforecast: Bayesian Time Series Modeling with Stan
inverse.gamma R Documentation
Define an inverse gamma prior distribution
Description
inverse.gamma(shape,rate)
Usage
inverse.gamma(shape = 2, rate = 1)
Arguments
shape
the form parameter alpha in gamma distribution
rate
the rate parameter beta in gamma distribution
Details
Define a inverse.gamma prior distribution using the hyper parameters
shape and rate, by default an inverse.gamma(2,1) distribution is
return.
If sigma has a gamma distribution then 1/sigma has n inverse gamma
distribution. The rate parameter is the inverse of an scale parameter.
Value
a numerical vector interpreted as a prior in Stan
