Description

Summary:

Is it possible to place a inverse gaussian prior with rstanarm?

Description:

I am now trying to use stan_glmer in the rstanarm package with a inverse gaussian distribution for prior_intercept but it seems that the rstanarm package does not support such a prior. Is there any way to do this with the rstanarm package? Any suggestions will be highly appreciated. Thank you.

No files or tests are named. Start by reviewing rstanarm's prior_intercept handling and the stan_glmer documentation for supported prior distributions; done would be a clear answer about inverse Gaussian support or a defined implementation scope.
