Question

Suppose the prior distribution for a parameter $\theta$ is normal with mean 0 and variance 1. A sample of 100 observations yields a sample mean of 0.5 and a sample variance of 0.25. * Calculate the posterior mean and variance for $\theta$ under a Bayesian framework. * Explain how the results would change if the prior variance were much larger or smaller

Step 1

Prior distribution for $\theta$: Normal with mean $\mu_0 = 0$ and variance $\sigma_0^2 = 1$. Sample size: $n = 100$. Sample mean: $\bar{x} = 0.5$. Sample variance: $s^2 = 0.25$. Step 2: Determine the likelihood function. Since the prior is normal and we are Show more…
