The main aim of this paper is to investigate the identifiability of Bayesian Gaussian regression model. The model is extensively implemented in the various Bayesian modeling concepts such as model fitting and model selection approaches. In accordance with the outcomes, the Bayesian Gaussian model is identifiable when the model's design matrix is full rank.
Keywords: Bayesian statistics, design matrix, Gaussian model, identifiability, Posterior distribution.
