Adaptive Bayesian Nonparametric Regression via Stationary Smoothness Priors by Justin L. Tobias

“…Relative to previous work adopting a similar approach that either employs a single global smoothing parameter or assumes that the smoothing process follows a random walk, the model considered here permits adaptive smoothing and imposes stationarity in the autoregressive smoothing process. An efficient Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) scheme for model estimation is fully described for this stationary case, and the performance of the method is illustrated in several generated data experiments. …”
