$\begingroup$ Hi: This sounds bayesian to me. You can assume priors for $\mu$ and $\sigma$. Then, you have to assume some likelihood for the data given $\mu$ and $\sigma$. Then, given the data, you can derive the posterior given the likelihood and the prior. So, if you make nice priors, the posterior should have all the of the parameters in it at once. Often a normal is used as a prior for the mean and a gamma (IIRC) is used for the variance. Using these leads to nice posteriors but I forget what they are. Any decent bayesian text ( lancaster, gelman and hill, zellner ) should provide the gory details. $\endgroup$
