    Graduate Proving Inverse Gamma Variance: Step-by-Step Guide

    Hi! Can someone help me prove that the variance for the inverse gamma is: \frac{\beta^2}{(\alpha - 1)^2 (\alpha -2)} I started with: E(x) = \int_0^\infty x \frac{\beta^{\alpha}}{\gamma(\alpha)}(\frac{1}{x})^{\alpha + 1} exp (\frac{-\beta}{x}) dx then i let y = \frac{\beta}{x}; dy =...

    Solution of the associated homogeneous problem

    Umm the first latex image generation is supposed to be an integral, The second is supposed to be a fraction, so e^integral of P(x) divided by (y1)^2 And the third one is another integral. Sorry I don't know what happened.. please help me
