Data quoted in P M Lee, `Bayesian Statistics: An Introduction', Arnold 1997, Chapter 9, Exercise 5. Iterations of the EM algorithm give the following values for theta 88.9793 88.9862 88.9862 88.9862 88.9862 88.9862 88.9862 88.9862 88.9862 88.9862 The Gibbs sampler gives rise to the following conclusions: We deduce posterior for theta has mean 89.0409 and variance 1.30669 and that posterior for phi has mean 128.26 and variance 359.461
