Bayesian parsimonious covariance estimation for hierarchical linear mixed models

We considered a non-centered parameterization of the standard random-effects model, which is based on the Cholesky decomposition of the variance-covariance matrix. The regression type structure of the non-centered parameterization allows to choose a simple, conditionally conjugate normal prior on th...
