Abstract

We consider the asymptotic behavior of posterior distributions and Bayes estimators for infinite-dimensional statistical models. We give general results on the rate of convergence of the posterior measure. These are applied to several examples, including priors on finite sieves, log-spline models, Dirichlet processes and interval censoring.
