%sample from the prior distribution..
%this uses different priors. l1 and l2 uniform. Alpha is gamma



%want to sample KK values from prior distribution
%lambda1 +lamda2 =prior_l = max failure rate 
%priors for lamdas are appropiate uniforms.
%Assume alpha is gamma(0,b,a) - location 0, scale b, shape a.
