This might be a very strange question, but I am having a bit of trouble. Here is a posterior distribution.
If I am reading this passage out loud, when I get near the end to π(δ1), do I read it as pi ...

Sampling posterior distribution of a function
I have the following problem: let's say I have a function $y=f(x)$. Let $f$ be defined for all $x$ but it it might not be invertible. Further assume $x \sim p(x)$ with some probability density $p(x)$.
...

Expectation and variance of the posterior distribution example: seeking elaboration on normalising constant
I have the following example:
Assume that we have an observation $Y$ from a Binomial distribution with parameter $n = 20$ and success probability $p: [Y \sim \mathrm{Bin}(20, p)]$.
Further assume ...

Find posterior distribution
Let $X_{1},..,X_{n}$ be a sample from a poisson$({\lambda})$ distribution. Let the prior be ${\pi}({\lambda})=1/{\sqrt{\lambda}}$. Find the posterior distribution.
My work: We have $f(x|{\lambda})=\...
