An Analysis of Bayesian Inference for Nonparametric Regression
非参数回归中贝叶斯推断的分析
The observation model $y_i = \beta(i/n) + \varepsilon_i, 1 \leq i \leq n$, is considered, where the $\varepsilon$'s are i.i.d. with mean zero and variance $\sigma^2$ and $\beta$ is an unknown smooth function. A Gaussian prior distribution is specified by assuming $\beta$ is the solution of a high order stochastic differential equation. The estimation error $\delta = \beta - \hat{\beta}$ is analyzed, where $\hat{\beta}$ is the posterior expectation of $\beta$. Asymptotic…
