The Exponential Form
Found 3 free book(s)Chapter 9 The exponential family: Conjugate priors
people.eecs.berkeley.eduFor exponential families the likelihood is a simple standarized function of the parameter and we can define conjugate priors by mimicking the form of the likelihood. Multiplication of a likelihood and a prior that have the same exponential form yields a posterior that retains that form.

If lim 0n n R →∞ =, the infinite series obtained is called Taylor series for f(x) about x = a. If a = 0 the series is often called a Maclaurin series. Binomial ...
