* Conjugate prior, in Bayesian statistics, a family of probability distributions that contains a prior and the posterior distributions for a particular likelihood function ( particularly for one-parameter exponential families )

Category: Conjugate prior distributions

Conjugate priors are analogous to eigenfunctions in operator theory, in that they are distributions on which the " conditioning operator " acts in a well-understood way, thinking of the process of changing from the prior to the posterior as an operator.

If the likelihood function belongs to the exponential family, then a conjugate prior exists, often also in the exponential family ; see Exponential family: Conjugate distributions.
