Bayesian posterior consistency in the functional randomly shifted curves model
Résumé
In this paper, we consider the so-called Shape Invariant Model which stands for the estimation of a function $f^0$ submitted to a random translation of law $g^0$ in a white noise model. We are interested in such a model when the law of the deformations is unknown. We aim to recover the law of the process $\PP_{f^0,g^0}$ as well as $f^0$ and $g^0$. In this perspective, we adopt a Bayesian point of view and find prior on $f$ and $g$ such that the posterior distribution concentrates around $\PP_{f^0,g^0}$ at a polynomial rate when $n$ goes to $+\infty$. We obtain a logarithmic posterior contraction rate for the shape $f^0$ and the distribution $g^0$. We also derive logarithmic lower bounds for the estimation of $f^0$ and $g^0$ in a frequentist paradigm.
