We consider a Gaussian process regression (GPR) approach to analysing a single-index model (SIM) from the Bayesian perspective. Specifically, the unknown link function is assumed to be a Gaussian process a priori and a prior on the index vector is considered based on a simple uniform distribution on the unit sphere. The posterior distributions for the unknown parameters are derived, and the posterior inference of the proposed approach is performed via Markov chain Monte Carlo methods based on th

<!-- *** Custom HTML *** --> In recent years, the literature in the area of Bayesian asymptotics has been rapidly growing. It is increasingly important to understand the concept of posterior consistency and validate specific Bayesian methods, in terms of consistency of posterior distributions. In this paper, we build up some conceptual issues in consistency of posterior distributions, and discuss panoramic views of them by comparing various approaches to posterior consistency that have been inve

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 extension of the theorem of Schwartz (1965) for nonidentically distributed observations, verifying its

Functional data are defined as realizations of random functions (mostly smooth functions) varying over a continuum, which are usually collected on discretized grids with measurement errors. In order to accurately smooth noisy functional observations and deal with the issue of high-dimensional observation grids, we propose a novel Bayesian method based on the Bayesian hierarchical model with a Gaussian-Wishart process prior and basis function representations. We first derive an induced model for

We consider a set of independent Bernoulli trials with possibly different success probabilities that depend on covariate values. However, the available data consist only of aggregate numbers of successes among subsets of the trials along with all of the covariate values. We still wish to estimate the parameters of a modeled relationship between the covariates and the success probabilities, e.g., a logistic regression model. In this article, estimation of the parameters is made from a Bayesian pe

We propose a flexible Bayesian semiparametric quantile regression model based on Dirichlet process mixtures of generalized asymmetric Laplace distributions for fitting curves with shape restrictions. The generalized asymmetric Laplace distribution exhibits more flexible tail behaviour than the frequently used asymmetric Laplace distribution in Bayesian quantile regression. In addition, nonparametric mixing over the shape and scale parameters with the Dirichlet process mixture extends its flexibi

Mixture models provide a method of modelling a complex probability distribution in terms of simpler structures. In particular, the method of mixture of regressions has received considerable attention due to its modelling flexibility and availability of convenient computational algorithms. This paper aims to contribute to theoretical justification for the mixtures of regression model from the Bayesian perspective. In particular, we establish consistency of posterior distribution and determine how

This paper presents a Bayesian analysis of partially linear additive models for quantile regression. We develop a semiparametric Bayesian approach to quantile regression models using a spectral representation of the nonparametric regression functions and the Dirichlet process (DP) mixture for error distribution. We also consider Bayesian variable selection procedures for both parametric and nonparametric components in a partially linear additive model structure based on the Bayesian shrinkage pr
