Propriety conditions for the Bayesian autologistic model - Inference for histone modifications.

ABSTRACT

Motivated by inference for a set of histone modifications we consider an improper prior for an autologistic model. We state sufficient conditions for posterior propriety under a constant prior on the coefficients of an autologistic model. We use known results for a multinomial logistic regression to prove posterior propriety under the autologistic model. The conditions are easily verified.
