This thesis is composed of papers on four topics: Bayesian theory for the sparse nor- mal means problem (Chapters 1-3), Bayesian theory for community detection (Chapter 4), nested

We verify these conditions for the class of priors considered in Ghosh and Chakrabarti (2015), which includes the horseshoe and the normal-exponential gamma priors, and for

We study the coverage and length of the marginal credible sets resulting from the same four methods applied in the simulation above: empirical Bayes with the simple estimator and

In this work, we provide theoretical results on community detection, establishing that the Bayesian posterior mode is strongly consistent for the class labels if the expected degree
