$\left({\sigma }_{\mathrm{ui}}^2|v_u,S_u^2\right)$	$\left\{\begin{array}{l}0\text{with probability}{\Pi }_u,\\ {\chi }^{-2}(v_u,S_u^2)\text{with probability}(1-{\Pi }_u)\end{array}\right)$
vu	Gamma(k=5,θ=2)
$\left(S_u^2\right)$	Gamma(k=0.1,θ=10)
Πu	Beta(α=7,β=3)
$\left({\sigma }_e^2\right)$	$\left({\chi }^{-2}(v_e,S_e^2=\widehat{{\sigma }_e^2}(v_e-2)/v_e)\right)$
