In 1933 Kolmogorov constructed a general theory that defines the modern concept of conditional probability. In 1955 Renyi fomulated a new axiomatic theory for probability motivated by the need to include unbounded measures. We introduce a general concept of conditional probability in Renyi spaces. In this theory improper priors are allowed, and the resulting posteriors can also be improper.
