Powerprior
Description
Implements conjugate power priors for efficient Bayesian analysis of normal data. Power priors allow principled incorporation of historical information while controlling the degree of borrowing through a discounting parameter (Ibrahim and Chen (2000) <doi:10.1214/ss/1009212519>). This package provides closed-form conjugate representations for both univariate and multivariate normal data using Normal-Inverse-Chi-squared and Normal-Inverse-Wishart distributions, eliminating the need for MCMC sampling. The conjugate framework builds upon standard Bayesian methods described in Gelman et al. (2013, ISBN:978-1439840955).
