Prior incoherence within a Bayesian assessment of the Southern Hemisphere humpback whale breeding stock B population

In very simple terms, a Bayesian analysis involves drawing estimatable parameter values from some prior distribution, computing population dynamics and assigning a likelihood value to each combination based on comparisons to data containing information on population size and/or trend. A posterior di...
