Let
so . In the Gaussian sequence model, put . For each relevant coordinate, the posterior density of relative to the standard-normal density is
The log-Lipschitz assumption implies
These bounds provide Gaussian-integrable domination, while the ratio converges pointwise to one. Dominated convergence, coordinate independence, and the same argument after multiplying by show that, under the posterior,
almost surely. The supplied moment-generating-function criterion therefore gives the finite-functional Bernstein-von Mises theorem
with uniform convergence of distribution functions.
If , the posterior quantile defining consequently satisfies
in probability. Under ,
for every . Quantile convergence and the Slutsky theorem now yield
