Abstract
This paper addresses the use of Jeffreys priors in the context of univariate threeparameter
location-scale models, where skewness is introduced by differing scale
parameters either side of the location. We focus on various commonly used parameterizations
for these models. Jeffreys priors are shown not to allow for posterior
inference in the wide and practically relevant class of distributions obtained by
skewing scale mixtures of normals. Easily checked conditions under which independence
Jeffreys priors can be used for valid inference are derived. We empirically
investigate the posterior coverage for a number of Bayesian models, which
are also used to conduct inference on real data.
