<p>In <a href="page.php?w=Bayesian_probability">Bayesian probability</a> theory, if, given a <a href="page.php?w=likelihood_function">likelihood function</a>  ,  the <a href="page.php?w=posterior_probability">posterior distribution</a>  is in the same <a href="page.php?w=List_of_probability_distributions">probability distribution family</a> as the <a href="page.php?w=prior_probability_distribution">prior probability distribution</a> , the prior and posterior are then called <b>conjugate distributions</b> with respect to that  likelihood function</p><p>
