The problem of approximating a prior by a suitable ÿnite mixture of distributions, with respect to Prokhorov's metric, is considered. We give explicit estimates of the error of approximation when the statistical model is a suitable exponential family. An illustrative example shows an application of
A Bayesian analysis is used to detect a change-point in a sequence of independent random variables from exponential family distributions. The conjugate priors for the exponential families are considered in the analysis. The marginal posterior distribution of the change-point j is derived. Since some
