These priors may have heavier tails than Student-t priors, and the variances have a sensible behaviour both at the origin and at the tail, making it suitable for objective analysis. Since the representation of our proposal is a scale mixture, it is suitable to detect sudden changes in the model. Finally, we propose a Gibbs sampler using this new family of priors for modelling outliers and structural breaks in Bayesian dynamic linear models. We demonstrate in a published example, that our proposal is more suitable than the Inverted Gamma’s assumption for the variances, which makes very hard to detect structural changes.
