What is a conjugate prior?

This video provides a short introduction to the concept of 'conjugate prior distributions'; covering its definition, examples and why we may choose to specify a distribution that is conjugate to a given likelihood.

This video is part of a lecture course which closely follows the material covered in the book, "A Student's Guide to Bayesian Statistics", published by Sage, which is available to order on Amazon here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Students-Gui...
