On Bayesian consistency
Xing, Yang; Ranneby, Bo
Abstract
We establish a sufficient condition ensuring strong Hellinger consistency of posterior distributions. We also prove a strong Hellinger consistency theorem for the pseudoposterior distributions based on the likelihood ratio with power 0 < alpha < 1, which are introduced by Walker and Hjort (2001). Our result is an extension of their theorem for alpha = 1/2
