We will first introduce what Bayesian methods are and how we can give theoretical guarantees for Bayesian methods in mathematical statistics. I will go over the ideas and difficulties we encounter. Next, I will introduce the semiparametric mixture model, give some examples, and formulate the theorem. If time permits, I will also discuss the difficulties in the proof and how to overcome them. The aim of the talk is to be interactive, and questions and discussion is welcome.
