Posterior density of gamma

Description

Propose a value for posterior density of the gamma parameter

Usage

dpostg(y, x, z, betas, gammas, gl, gpri, Gpri)

Arguments

y

object of class matrix, with the dependent variables.

x

object of class matrix, with the variables for modelling the mean.

z

object of class matrix, with the variables for modelling the variance.

betas

a vector with the proposal beta parameters.

gammas

a vector with the proposal gamma parameters.

gl

a vector with the proposal degrees of freedom parameter.

gpri

a vector with the values of the mean of the prior of gamma.

Gpri

a matrix with the values of the variance of the prior of gamma.

Details

Generate the posterior density for the gamma proposed by Marin and Cepeda (_).

Value

value

a value with the posterior denity for gamma
