where \(v\) is an extra unknown degrees of freedom parameter. One possible prior is a uniform on \(1 / v\). How does this affect the posterior density for \(\mu\) as compared to a normal hierarchical model without scale mixing, and are any studies apparent as significant outliers (with 95\% intervals for \(\varphi_{i}\) entirely under 1).
