Marginal distribution of mean.


e would like to simplify the previous result for the situation when the only variable of interest is the mean. We integrate over the nuisance parameter $\tau$ to obtain the marginal distribution MATH Hence, MATH We transform the above expression to the form of the gamma function: MATH We obtain MATH where MATH MATH We calculate the integral MATH Therefore, MATH The last expression is called "shifted student t-distribution".
