Nonparametric Bayesian label prediction on a graph

An implementation of a nonparametric Bayesian approach to solving binary classification problems on graphs is described. A hierarchical Bayesian approach with a randomly scaled Gaussian prior is considered. The prior uses the graph Laplacian to take into account the underlying geometry of the graph. A method based on a theoretically optimal prior and a more flexible variant using partial conjugacy are proposed. Two simulated data examples and two examples using real data are used in order to illustrate the proposed methods.
