If the shape parameter of the gamma distribution is known, but the inversescale parameter is unknown, then a gamma distribution for the inverse scale forms a conjugate prior. In particular, they show that the model predicts a gamma distribution for volatility, whereas empirically volatility is closer to an inverse gamma distribution. The inversegamma distribution is defined over positive real numbers using parameters concentration aka alpha and scale aka beta. Constraints on parton distribution functions and extraction of the strong coupling constant from the inclusive jet cross section in pp collisions at sqrts 7 tev. In probability theory and statistics, the inverse gamma distribution is a twoparameter family of continuous probability distributions on the positive real line, which is the distribution of the reciprocal of a variable distributed according to the gamma distribution.

With this parameterization, a gamma, distribution has mean and variance 2. The nnpdf methodology for the determination of pdfs was. In bayesian probability, the inverse gamma distribution is used as a marginal posterior or as a conjugate prior distribution in inferencing of normallydistributed data whose variance is unknown if an uninformative prior or if an informative prior is used, respectively.
Yes, but i think the first parameter of the gamma should be 1.
