(2011)}.
The procedure is motivated by sequential Bayesian learning. Starting from independent initial priors on the parameters,
specified in the @code{estimated_params}-block, the standard deviations observed in a "pre-sample",
taken to be the actual sample, are used to update the initial priors. Thus, the product of the initial
priors and the pre-sample likelihood of the standard deviations of the observables is used as the new prior
(for more information, see the technical appendix of @cite{Christiano, Trabandt and Walentin (2011)}).
This procedure helps in cases where the regular posterior estimates, which minimize in-sample forecast
errors, result in a large overprediction
of model variable variances (a statistic that is not explicitly targeted, but often of particular interest to researchers).
