Compound probability distributions | Continuous distributions
In probability theory, an exponentially modified Gaussian distribution (EMG, also known as exGaussian distribution) describes the sum of independent normal and exponential random variables. An exGaussian random variable Z may be expressed as Z = X + Y, where X and Y are independent, X is Gaussian with mean μ and variance σ2, and Y is exponential of rate λ. It has a characteristic positive skew from the exponential component. It may also be regarded as a weighted function of a shifted exponential with the weight being a function of the normal distribution. (Wikipedia).
(ML 7.10) Posterior distribution for univariate Gaussian (part 2)
Computing the posterior distribution for the mean of the univariate Gaussian, with a Gaussian prior (assuming known prior mean, and known variances). The posterior is Gaussian, showing that the Gaussian is a conjugate prior for the mean of a Gaussian.
