Detailed Description

Penalized complexity prior.

Given a parameter \(\xi\) of a model (distribution) \(f(x \mid \xi)\) with a simpler base model \(g(x)\) ( \(f(x \mid \xi=0)\) if \(\xi\) is a flexibility parameter), the Penalized Complexity (PC) prior on \(\xi\) minimizes the complexity introduced by deviation from the base model. It corresponds to an exponential distribution on the Kullback–Leibler divergence between the flexible and base models, in terms of \(\xi\).

For ease of parameterization, a 'tail event' is defined as an upper bound on an interpretable transformation \(Q(\xi)\) with tail density \(\alpha\), such that \(P(Q(\xi) > U) = \alpha\). With KL divergence defined as

\[ \mathrm{KLD}(f(x \mid \xi) || g(x)) = \int f(x \mid \xi) \log\left(\frac{f(x \mid \xi)}{g(x)}\right) dx,\]

KL divergence at \(\xi\) normalized by KL divergence at the tail

\[ D(\xi) = \frac{\mathrm{KLD}(f(x \mid \xi) || g(x))}{\mathrm{KLD}(f(x \mid \xi=Q^{-1}(U)) || g(x))} ,\]

and

\[ J(\xi) = \frac{\partial D(\xi)}{\partial \xi} ,\]

the density of the PC prior is

\[p(\xi) = \frac{-\log\alpha}{2 \sqrt{D(\xi)}} \alpha^{\sqrt{D(\xi)}} |J(\xi)|.\]

Note
For more details, see Simpson et al. Stat Sci. (2017) 32(1): 1. arXiv: 1403.4630
The log-density with this parameterization overflows when \(D(\xi)=0\). The value of the PC prior at the base model is unique to each case and cannot be provided by this general implementation.
