Bayesian consistency for regression models under a supremum distance
by Fei Xiang and Stephen G. Walker
This paper studies the consistency of Bayesian nonparametric regression models. We concentrate on the use of the sup metric and dealing with non-stochastic, i.e. designed, covariate values. We illustrate our results on a normal mean regression function and demonstrate the usefulness of a model based on piecewise constant functions.
Keywords: Bayesian nonparametric;
Consistency;
Regression model;
Hellinger neighborhood;
Piecewise constant function.
