Abstract

We extend Doob's well-known result on Bayesian consistency The extension covers the case where the nonparametric prior is fully supported by densities. However, our use of martingales differs from that of Doob. We also consider rates.

Item Type: Article
DOI/Identification number: 10.3150/bj/1093265634
Additional information: This paper extends the Doob theorem for Bayesian consistency to infinite dimensional models. The proof relies on a different type of martingale to the one used by Doob.
