Table 3 Prior and proposal distributions used for the parameters introduced in the parameter expansions
Global parameterθi | Prior distributionp(θi) | Proposal distributionq(θ*|θi) |
|---|---|---|
α μ | Uniform ∼ (0.01,10) | Truncated-Normal ∼ (μ = α μ , lower = 0.01) |
α κ | Uniform ∼ (0.01,10) | Truncated-Normal ∼ (μ = α κ , lower = 0.01) |
α τ | Uniform ∼ (0.01,10) | Truncated-Normal ∼ (μ = α τ , lower = 0.01) |
