I am having trouble understanding the authors reasoning here. It is from "The Bayesian Choice"



I am confused about why the posterior is initially written without depending on the data, and why we integrate the numerator.



It is,



Consider one observation $x$, from a normal $$N(fractheta_1+theta_22,1)$$



Then (From the book, page 24).

          Sorry for being confusing! The joint posterior distribution on $(xi_1,xi_2)$ is
          $$pi(xi_1,xi_2|x)propto exp-(x-xi_1)^2/2pi_1(2xi_1)pi_2(2xi_2)$$
          Therefore the marginal posterior on $xi_2$ is given by the marginal of the above, up to a constant, that is,
          $$pi(xi_2|x)propto intexp-(x-xi_1)^2/2pi_1(2xi_1)pi_2(2xi_2),textdxi_1$$
          which does not depend on $x$. This is a case, albeit an artificial case, when the posterior and the prior are equal.

          $$pi(xi_1,xi_2|x)propto exp-(x-xi_1)^2/2pi_1(2xi_1)pi_2(2xi_2)$$
          Therefore the marginal posterior on $xi_2$ is given by the marginal of the above, up to a constant, that is,
          $$pi(xi_2|x)propto intexp-(x-xi_1)^2/2pi_1(2xi_1)pi_2(2xi_2),textdxi_1$$
          which does not depend on $x$. This is a case, albeit an artificial case, when the posterior and the prior are equal.

          One-line joke

          A one-liner is a joke that is delivered in a single line. A good one-liner is said to be pithy - concise and meaningful. [1] Comedians and actors use this comedic method as part of their act, e.g. Jimmy Carr, Tommy Cooper, Rodney Dangerfield, Norm Macdonald, Ken Dodd, Stewart Francis, Zach Galifianakis, Mitch Hedberg, Anthony Jeselnik, Milton Jones, Shappi Khorsandi, Jay London, Mark Linn-Baker, Demetri Martin, Groucho Marx, Dan Mintz, Emo Philips, Tim Vine, Steven Wright and Henny Youngman and Arnold Schwarzenegger. [ citation needed ] Many fictional characters are also known to deliver one-liners, including James Bond, who usually includes pithy and laconic quips after disposing of a villain. [ citation needed ] Examples "A baby seal walks into a club." "A dyslexic man walks into a bra." (Anonymous) "There are three types of people, those who can count and those who can't." "Venison's dear, isn't it?" (Jimmy Carr) "An escala...
