Joint posterior distribution of mean and hyperparameters.


n agreement with the general Bayesian idea ( Bayesian technique ) we write MATH The observable data $y$ depends directly only on $\theta$ , hence MATH Also, in agreement with the structure of the model, MATH Hence, MATH MATH MATH We replace the dependence on the sample $y$ with dependence on the statistics MATH MATH according to the formula MATH and drop the multiplicative constants. We obtain
