Inline Bayesian Linear Regression
---------------------------------
Figure 8.1

An example showing the online nature of Bayesian regression. The upper panel
shows the four points used in regression, drawn from the line
y = theta_1 x + theta_2 with theta_1 = 1 and theta_2 = 0. The lower panel shows
the posterior pdf in the (theta_1, theta_2) plane as each point is added in
sequence. For clarity, the implied dark regions for sigma > 3 have been
removed. The fourth point is an upper-limit measurement of y, and the resulting
posterior cuts off half the parameter space.
