Cool! I’ve been quite interested by the use of fat-tailed priors in Bayesian analysis since Gelman et al’s paper on weak priors (http://www.stat.columbia.edu/~gelman/research/published/priors11.pdf), and I’ve recently been experimenting with the use of fat-tailed distributions for robust hierarchical modeling. Nice to see some software for it.

Nice abstract. Now I want to read the paper.
