Gaussian change-point Gibbs updates

ID: gaussian-change-point-gibbs-updates

For independent means and , the first mean's conditional precision is and conditional precision-weighted mean is ; replace by for the second mean. With its conditional law is . The discrete split has conditional probabilities proportional to . These full conditional distributions give a Gibbs sampler including . Averaging the sampled indicators of that configuration estimates its probability; averaging its conditional probabilities gives an estimate by Rao-Blackwellization.
