Question

Now let's consider the fully Bayesian version of regression, with the same assumptions as in (c), i.e. Γ=αI\Gamma = \alpha I and Σ=σ2I\Sigma = \sigma^2 I. This formulation is the linear version of Gaussian process regression.

(d) What happens to the mean and covariance of the posterior p(θD)p(\theta|\mathcal{D}) for different values of α\alpha and σ2\sigma^2 (e.g., α=0,α,σ2=0\alpha = 0, \alpha \to \infty, \sigma^2 = 0)?
