Dear BUGS users,
Can anyone make recommendations about incorporating a skewed informative
prior in BUGS on a mean parameter such as 'd' in the blocker example? For
example, suppose I believe the parameter is essentially zero but I
definitely think it could be bigger (it's possible that it's smaller but I
really don't think it is).
Any help much appreciated
Julian
