A Bayesian statistician observes a random sample X1,…,Xn drawn from a N(μ,τ−1) distribution. He has a prior density for the unknown parameters μ,τ of the form
π0(μ,τ)∝τα0−1exp(−21K0τ(μ−μ0)2−β0τ)τ,
where α0,β0,μ0 and K0 are constants which he chooses. Show that after observing X1,…,Xn his posterior density πn(μ,τ) is again of the form
πn(μ,τ)∝ταn−1exp(−21Knτ(μ−μn)2−βnτ)τ
where you should find explicitly the form of αn,βn,μn and Kn.
