Jul 7, 2019 at 13:25 | comment | added | whuber♦ | See stats.stackexchange.com/a/36037/919 for an illuminating description of the Cauchy distribution. | |
Jul 7, 2019 at 9:59 | comment | added | Glen_b | Its use as a prior is because of the distribution's properties (in general, the aim is to give some kind of weakly informative prior); from the wording of the question I wouldn't have thought you meant to include priors. There's a somewhat related question here: What are the properties of a half Cauchy distribution? | |
Jul 7, 2019 at 9:40 | comment | added | Daria | For computing hierarchical prior and reference prior. | |
Jul 7, 2019 at 9:34 | comment | added | Glen_b | When you say "for MCMC algorithm" do you mean instead "as a Bayesian prior" or do you mean "as a model for data in a Bayesian framework" or something else? | |
Jul 7, 2019 at 9:32 | comment | added | Daria | I've seen some practical examples out of my field of studies, specifically for MCMC algorithm. Therefore I've been curious if it can be applied for finance or ML | |
Jul 7, 2019 at 9:30 | comment | added | Glen_b | I challenge the premise -- is it actually popular as a practical model*? (If it is, how do you know, outside of seeing practical examples already?) ... $\:$ *[It's widely used in textbook examples because of its simplicity and as a counterexample to various things, but I doubt those count as practical. It's sometimes used as a prior, but that's not as a data model.] | |
