Let us consider an indirect noisy measurement M of a physical quantity M = AU + delta E where the measurement M, noise E and the unknown U are treated as random variables and delta models the noise amplitude. We are interested to know what happens to the approximate solution of above when delta → 0. The analysis of small noise limit, also known as the theory of posterior consistency, has attracted a lot of interest in the last decade, however, much remains to be done. Developing a comprehensive theory is important since posterior consistency justifies the use of Bayesian approach the same way as convergence results do the use of regularisation techniques.
