I am also confused. More specifically, improper priors are priors that integrate to infinity and thus cannot be normalized.
That's almost the definition, except that improper priors are not priors.
Is that your confusion?
No, I mean I share your confusion that the rest of the conversation appeared reasonable given the incorrect definition in the post.
Sorry. Probably part of the miscommunication is that I used "confused" to describe Daniel LC and "surprised" to describe myself.
