This document discusses different approaches to specifying prior distributions in Bayesian statistics. It begins by introducing the binomial model for coin tossing and how priors and posteriors are calculated. It then describes three categories of Bayesian priors: classical Bayesians use a flat prior, modern parametric Bayesians use a Beta distribution prior, and subjective Bayesians quantify existing knowledge about a process. The document shows that different priors lead to different posteriors. It further explains that any prior density can be approximated by mixtures of Beta densities, and extends this concept to the exponential family. The exponential family conjugate prior is also discussed. Finally, connections are made between the exponential family, Beta density priors, and a generalization about conditional expected posteriors.
