Query: Optimal Scaling of Mala for Nonlinear Regression   We address the problem of simulating efficiently from the posterior
distribution over the parameters of a particular class of nonlinear regression
models using a Langevin-Metropolis sampler. It is shown that as the number N of
parameters increases, the proposal variance must scale as N{-1/3} in order to
converge to a diffusion. This generalizes previous results of Roberts and
Rosenthal [J. R. Stat. Soc. Ser. B Stat. Methodol. 60 (1998) 255-268] for the
i.i.d. case, showing the robustness of their analysis.
