BasicBayesian

<p>The environment where you want to create the BasicBayesian object</p>

<p>A Basic Bayesian Object is with following conditional dependency structure: 
     $$theta|gamma \sim H(gamma)$$
     $$X|theta \sim F(theta)$$
Where H(gamma) is usually called "the prior distribution", F(theta) is called "the observation distribution". Objects of type "LinearGaussianGaussian", "GaussianGaussian", "GaussianInvWishart", "GaussianNIW", "GaussianNIG", "CatDirichlet" and "CatDP" are all "BasicBayesian"s.</p>

A set of frequently used Bayesian parametric and nonparametric model structures, as well as a set of tools for common analytical tasks. Structures include linear Gaussian systems, Gaussian and Normal-Inverse-Wishart conjugate structure, Gaussian and Normal-Inverse-Gamma conjugate structure, Categorical and Dirichlet conjugate structure, Dirichlet Process on positive integers, Dirichlet Process in general, Hierarchical Dirichlet Process ... Tasks include updating posteriors, sampling from posteriors, calculating marginal likelihood, calculating posterior predictive densities, sampling from posterior predictive distributions, calculating "Maximum A Posteriori" (MAP) estimates ...
