Detailed Description
base class for all priors
This default prior does nothing in particular. It poses no restriction on the respective parameter at all. at any value x, the prior returns 1. Thus it is an "improper" prior in the sense that it does not correspond to a proper probability distribution.
The documentation for this class was generated from the following file:
