//! A Penalized Complexity prior on sigma of a normal distribution.
/** The Penalized Complexity (PC) prior on sigma minimizes the complexity (and
    resulting risk of over-fitting) introduced by deviation from a delta
    function (\f$\sigma=0\f$) to a normal distribution. Its density is

    \f[ p(\sigma) = \frac{-\log\alpha}{\sigma_u} \alpha^{\sigma / \sigma_u},\f]

    where \f$\sigma_u\f$ is a user-specified value of \f$\sigma\f$ that
    indicates a 'tail event', a value that it is unexpected to exceed, and
    \f$\alpha = p(\sigma > \sigma_u)\f$ is the density in the tail.

    \see PenalizedComplexityPrior

    \note The prior is related by a change of variables to the PC prior on the
          precision tau in Simpson et al. Stat Sci. (2017) 32(1): 1. arXiv: 1403.4630,
          which is a type 2 Gumbel distribution.
