Let X be a random vector distributed according to an exponential family with natural parameter. We characterize conjugate prior measures on through the property of linear posterior expectation of the mean parameter of X: E\E (X|) |X = x\ = ax + b. We also delineate which hyperparameters permit such conjugate priors to be proper.
