New approaches to Bayesian consistency (2004)

Abstract
We use martingales to study Bayesian consistency. We derive sufficient conditions for both Hellinger and Kullback–Leibler consistency, which do not rely on the use of a sieve. Alternative sufficient conditions for Hellinger consistency are also found and demonstrated on examples.
