Book ChapterDOI
Stability and Convergence of the Posterior in Non-Regular Problems
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the posterior converges in a weak sense in a fairly general set up which includes the exponential, gamma and Weibull with a location parameter, and a reliability change point problem.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nonsubjective Bayes testing—an overview
Jayanta K. Ghosh,Tapas Samanta +1 more
TL;DR: A unified derivation of some methods of Bayesian model selection shows that they are no more than a fixed number of observations away from a Bayes factor based on noninformative priors, and are close to each other and to certain Bayes factors based on low information proper priors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Approximation of the posterior distribution in a change-point problem
TL;DR: A simple first order asymptotic approximation to the posterior distribution of θ is obtained and the accuracy of the approximation is judged through simulation and the approximation performs quite well.
Journal ArticleDOI
On consistency and optimality of Bayesian variable selection based on g-prior in normal linear regression models
TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider Bayesian variable selection in normal linear regression models based on Zellner's prior and prove that the posterior probability of the true model goes to one as the number of regressors goes to infinity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Asymptotic Expansions of Posterior Distributions in Nonregular Cases
Subhashis Ghosal,Tapas Samanta +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the asymptotic behavior of the posterior distributions for a one-parameter family of discontinuous densities and showed that a suitably centered and normalized posterior converges almost surely to an exponential limit in the total variation norm.
