Abstract
In this paper we present an exact Bayesian justification of the least-squares estimates for the functional relationships situation (Sprent, 1966) using the Reilly/Palatino-Leal Jeffreys' prior. It is shown that the profile posterior and the marginal posterior do not give conflicting information about the parameter of interest if an orthogonal parametrization (Cox and Reid, 1987) is adopted for the nuisance parameter.
