The probability distribution over hypothesis or variable , in Bayesian statistics, before seeing some batch of data.
For positive real values: Exponential distribution
You can have improper priors that give valid posteriors.
Often flat priors
Priors with some objective analytical properties, like invariance to reparametrization.
