“…is paper provides a framework within a computational reach utilising a SMN construction within the fading environment, which could now be implemented by the practitioner when field data justify it. Further, as a potential future point of departure, these scale mixture density representations situated within the fading environment may provide particular advances within Bayesian computing, especially in the case of the Gibbs sampler, where this hierarchical representation may lessen the computational strain within implementation of Bayesian statistical inference (see, for example, [25,26]). Furthermore, the SMN (α − μ) model can be extended and implemented, for example, within the cascaded α − μ fading environment [3].…”
