Abstract: In this paper we consider adaptive Bayesian semiparametric analysis of the linear regression model in the presence of conditional heteroskedasticity. The distribution of the error term on predictors are modelled by a normal distribution with covariate-dependent variance. We show that a rate-adaptive procedure for all smoothness levels of this standard deviation function is performed if the prior is properly chosen. More specifically, we derive adaptive posterior distribution rate up to a logarithm factor for the conditional standard deviation based on a transformation of hierarchical Gaussian spline prior and log-spline prior respectively.
