Take flat priors on and scale priors on the positive variances. The posterior distribution is then
A random-walk Metropolis–Hastings algorithm can update with a symmetric proposal and accept a proposed state from with probability , including the Jacobian if the target is represented in transformed coordinates. Its transition kernel satisfies
which is detailed balance; hence the posterior is stationary.
