Consider a very
simple linear model that only has two
|
|
|
parameters:
|
|
|
• |
It is possible
to display the full posterior distribution over
|
|
|
the
two-dimensional parameter space.
|
|
|
• |
The likelihood
term is a Gaussian, so if we use a
|
|
|
Gaussian prior
the posterior will be Gaussian:
|
|
|
|
– |
This
is a conjugate prior. It means that the prior is just
|
|
like
having already observed some data.
