Closed this issue · 0 comments
Hey @nathanh93
Please, provide inputs to the Student-t error term section of the doc.
Please include the following parts (make each of them as short as possible, please):
- Motivate why one would use Student-t error terms in two sentences.
- Present a univariate Student-t distribution as IG2 scale mixture of a normal distribution
- Present the necessary extension to the Gibbs sampler briefly using normal-ig2 for
$\boldsymbol\alpha$ and$\sigma^2$ and the other is the ig2 for$\lambda$ - State the IG2 full conditional posterior and its parameters
- Present R code to sample from the ig2 distribution
Introduce the material using the notation in line with that established in section Autoregressions.
