A note on a posterior approximation in a heteroscedastic model. (English) Zbl 1273.62165

Summary: We develop a method of obtaining approximate marginal posteriors for all parameters of interest for a heteroscedastic model. This method improves upon G. E. P. Box and W. J. Hill’s method [Technometrics 16, 385–389 (1974; Zbl 0283.62063)] in suggesting a pure Bayesian estimator for a regression coefficient.
