A Strong prior is a preceding assumption, theory, concept or idea upon which a current assumption, theory, concept or idea is founded. In Bayesian statistics, the term is used to contrast the case of a weak or uniformative prior probability. A strong prior would be a type of informative prior in which the information contained in the prior distribution dominates the information contained in the data being analysed.

  • A Strong prior is a preceding assumption, theory, concept or idea upon which a current assumption, theory, concept or idea is founded. In Bayesian statistics, the term is used to contrast the case of a weak or uniformative prior probability. A strong prior would be a type of informative prior in which the information contained in the prior distribution dominates the information contained in the data being analysed. The Bayesian analysis combines the information contained in the prior with that extracted from the data to produce the posterior distribution which, in the case of a "strong prior", would be little changed from the prior distribution.
