We\nexamine posterior properties and frequentist risks of Bayesian estimators based\non new hierarchical inverse-Wishart priors. More precisely, we give the\nexistence conditions of the posterior distributions. Advantages in terms of\nnumerical simulations of posteriors are shown. A simulation study ...
Would it be possible to implement Wishart / InverseWishart / LKJ priors? gpytorch has them already, but when I tried mixing in TorchDistributionMixin to get something useable in Pyro, I realized that they don't have a .sample method. I don't think it's easy to get efficient samplers ...
The transformation of the prior between a normal inverse gamma for fully conditional specification and a normal inverse Wishart for joint modeling is useful. With transformation, one could apply fully conditional specification when having prior information about statistical moments (e.g., mean and ...

conjugate family of priors is one in which Σ ∼ Inverse-Wishart ν (Λ −1 ) and µ|Σ ∼ N(η, Σ/κ). The inverse-Wishart distribution is defined on p. 575 of GCSR. The Wishart distribution is a multivariate analog of the gamma distribution. If matrix U has the Wishart...
priors for regression coefficients and other real scalar parameters; default is normalprior(100) specify shape and scale of default inverse-gamma prior for variances; default is igammaprior(0.01 0.01) specify degrees of freedom and, optionally, scale matrix of default inverse-Wishart prior for ...
Overall, the inverse Wishart prior is suggested if the population correlation coefficient and at least 1 of the 2 marginal variances are large. Otherwise, the separation-strategy prior is preferred. For the nonlinear growth curve model, the separation-strategy priors work better than the inverse...
