When samples are taken from a (multivariate) normal distribution then under suitable conditions we characterize the greatest class of priors such that the posterior distribution is also (multivariate) normal. In this case exact formulas are given showing how the mean and covariance matrix of the pos
In a parametric Bayesian analysis, the posterior distribution of the parameter is determined by three inputs: the prior distribution of the parameter, the model distribution of the data given the parameter, and the data themselves. Working in the framework of two particular families of parametric mo
