Marginal posterior distribution of hyperparameters.


ormally, to obtain the distribution $\mu,\gamma|y$ we would integrate the ( Hierarchical1 ) over the parameters MATH . However, in this particular situation we take a short cut. The data $\bar{y}_{\cdot j}$ was generated from MATH where the $\theta_{j}$ comes from MATH Hence, MATH . With such observation we can write the distribution $\mu,\gamma|y$ as MATH
