d
Conditional independence gives
P(m∣d1​,…,dS​)∝P(m)∏s=1S​P(ds​∣m),S=Nsat​.
(1)
For each satellite, Bayes theorem gives P(ds​∣m)∝P(m∣ds​)/P(m). Therefore
P(m∣d)∝P(m)1−S∏s=1S​P(m∣ds​).
(2)
If p​0​(m) is a kernel density estimator for the simulated marginal masses and p​s​(m) estimates the posterior based on satellite s, then
mˉ=∫p​0​(m)1−S∏s=1S​p​s​(m)dm∫mp​0​(m)1−S∏s=1S​p​s​(m)dm​.​
(3)
The one-dimensional integrals can be evaluated by numerical integration on a common mass grid.
