A non-informative prior is a type of prior distribution used in Bayesian inference that does not convey specific information about the parameters being estimated. It aims to have minimal influence on the posterior distribution, allowing the data to primarily drive the inference process. This is particularly useful when there's little or no prior knowledge about the parameters, making it ideal for exploratory analyses.
congrats on reading the definition of non-informative prior. now let's actually learn it.
