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+2 $ and $ \beta=\mu(\alpha-1)$.

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

           rvc= {class="RV", names=(...),}; // RV describing meaning of random variable in condition
           // elements of offsprings
