| Feb 23, 2014 at 0:43 | comment | added | Zen | @Luca said: "for example for a univariate Gaussian when we actually observe that the variable takes on a certain value, shouldn't the conditional distribution be a point mass with zero variance?". No. The observed value is just one of the possible realizations of the r.v. It doesn't determine its distribution. | |

changed marginal distribution to conditional distribution
