For binary observations with success probability Φ(βxi​), introduce latent Zi​∼N(βxi​,1) and let the sign determine the observation. Given β and the observed sign, each latent variable has a truncated normal distribution. With a standard normal prior, the full conditional distribution of β is normal with precision 1+∑i​xi2​ and mean ∑i​xi​Zi​/(1+∑i​xi2​). Alternating these blocks is Gibbs sampling with the required marginal posterior.
