Posterior Consistency in Nonparametric Regression Problems under Gaussian Process Priors
Posterior consistency can be thought of as a theoretical justification of the Bayesian method. One of the most popular approaches to nonparametric Bayesian regression is to put a nonparametric prior distribution on the unknown regression function using Gaussian processes. In this paper, we study posterior consistency in nonparametric regression problems using Gaussian process priors. We use an ...
متن کاملPosterior Consistency of Gaussian Process Prior for Nonparametric Binary Regression
Consider binary observations whose response probability is an unknown smooth function of a set of covariates. Suppose that a prior on the response probability function is induced by a Gaussian process mapped to the unit interval through a link function. In this paper we study consistency of the resulting posterior distribution. If the covariance kernel has derivatives up to a desired order and ...
متن کاملPartially Improper Gaussian Priors for Nonparametric Logistic Regression
A \partially improper" Gaussian prior is considered for Bayesian inference in logistic regression. This includes generalized smoothing spline priors that are used for nonparametric inference about the logit, and also priors that correspond to generalized random e ect models. Necessary and su cient conditions are given for the posterior to be a proper probability measure, and bounds are given fo...
متن کاملVariational Bayesian Multinomial Probit Regression with Gaussian Process Priors
It is well known in the statistics literature that augmenting binary and polychotomous response models with gaussian latent variables enables exact Bayesian analysis viaGibbs sampling from the parameter posterior. By adopting such a data augmentation strategy, dispensing with priors over regression coefficients in favor of gaussian process (GP) priors over functions, and employing variational a...

Consider binary observations whose response probability is an unknown smooth function of a set of covariates. Suppose that a prior on the response probability function is induced by a Gaussian process mapped to the unit interval through a link function.
