“…In most cases, however, computing the full posterior density is not essential and one only needs its estimates, for example, the expected value. Subsequently, according to Reference
51, the problem of evaluating the posterior density from Equation (2) can be restated as a problem of computing the conditional expectation (CE)
18,20–22,52 defined as
where
is the Borel sub‐
‐algebra,
, generated by the measurement operator
. For Equation (3) to hold, random variables
need to have finite variance, implying that they belong to the Hilbert space
