Question 11

+2 marksOne correct option

Suppose we observe data sampled from the model
. Since
is unknown, we

would like to estimate it using linear regression. Adding priors to the parameter
, i.e.

is equivalent to adding a
penalty on the parameters in the objective function defined by the log-likelihood.
