Calibrating the prior distribution for a normal model with conjugate prior

For a normal model with a conjugate prior, we provide an in depth examination of the effects of the hyperparameters on the long-run frequentist properties of posterior point and interval estimates. Under an assumed sampling model for the data generating mechanism, we examine how hyperparameter value...
