Detailed Description

Inverse-Gamma random walk.

Mean value, $\mu$, of this density is given by rvc . Standard deviation of the random walk is proportional to one $k$-th the mean. This is achieved by setting $\alpha=\mu/k+2$ and $\beta=\mu(\alpha-1)$.

The standard deviation of the walk is then: $\mu/\sqrt(k)$.

virtual vec bdm::mpdf::samplecond ( const vec &  cond,
double &  ll 
) [inline, virtual, inherited]

Returns a sample from the density conditioned on cond, $x \sim epdf(rv|cond)$.

Parameters:

ll is a return value of log-likelihood of the sample.

Reimplemented in bdm::mprod.
