## The usefulness of this method is really highlighted when we have a general ## continuous prior. In this example we are interested in the posterior ## standard deviation of an normal mean. Our prior is triangular over [-3, 3] set.seed(123) x = rnorm(20, -0.5, 1) mu = seq(-3, 3, by = 0.001) mu.prior = rep(0, length(mu)) mu.prior[mu <= 0] = 1 / 3 + mu[mu <= 0] / 9 mu.prior[mu > 0] = 1 / 3 - mu[mu > 0] / 9 results = normgcp(x, 1, density = "user", mu = mu, mu.prior = mu.prior, plot = FALSE) sd(results)
