Bayesian linear regression algorithm

esian learning provides a more robust approach to model

r estimation. The Bayesian linear regression algorithm (BLR) is

example [Buerkner, 2017]. The posterior probability of a BLR

n be calculated based on the following definition,

and Σ stand for the regression coefficients and the covariance

stands for the hyper-parameter of the a priori structure for w.

a priori structures can also be used in BLR algorithm [Buerkner,

he R package brms can be used for constructing a model for a
