16.4 Scaled Inverse Chi-Square Distribution
16.4.1 Probability Density Function
If \(\nu \in \mathbb{R}^+\) and \(\sigma \in \mathbb{R}^+\), then for \(y \in \mathbb{R}^+\), \[ \text{ScaledInvChiSquare}(y|\nu,\sigma) = \frac{(\nu / 2)^{\nu/2}} {\Gamma(\nu / 2)} \, \sigma^{\nu} \, y^{-(\nu/2 + 1)} \, \exp \! \left( \! - \, \frac{1}{2} \, \nu \, \sigma^2 \, \frac{1}{y} \right) . \]
16.4.2 Sampling Statement
y ~ scaled_inv_chi_square(nu, sigma)
Increment target log probability density with scaled_inv_chi_square_lpdf( y | nu, sigma)
dropping constant additive terms.
