Informative Priors

Informative Priors is a type of prior distribution in Bayesian model building that incorporates substantial, specific knowledge about the parameters, thereby distinguishing itself from non-informative or weakly informative priors by significantly influencing the posterior inference through concentrated probability mass on plausible parameter values.
