Dec 9, 2018 at 0:35 comment added amoeba @statslearner2 I think it does address Richard's question very well. Your bounty seems to be focused on a more narrow aspect (about a hyperprior) than Richard's Q.
Dec 8, 2018 at 21:44 comment added user227843 @amoeba I've read them, but they do not address this question.

Dec 7, 2018 at 6:49 comment added user227843 PS: to those aiming for the bounty, note my comment: I want to see an explicit answer that shows a prior that induces a MAP estimate equivalent to frequentist cross-validation.

Dec 7, 2018 at 5:46 comment added user227843 @guy can you explain better the connection between a hyper-prior and k-fold CV? Is there a prior that would induce a similar behavior?

Sep 21, 2018 at 14:34 comment added Richard Hardy @kjetilbhalvorsen, great question. Not sure if it should be appended here or posted separately, though.
Sep 21, 2018 at 14:31 comment added Richard Hardy @amoeba, thank you, this is roughly what I expected. The link to the other thread was helpful, too.

Sep 21, 2018 at 12:49 comment added guy Bayesians can put a prior on the tuning parameter, as it usually corresponds to a variance parameter. This is usually what is done to avoid CV in order to stay fully-Bayes. Alternatively, you can use REML to optimize the regularization parameter.
Sep 21, 2018 at 12:21 comment added kjetil b halvorsen Additional question (could be part of main Q): Do there exist some prior on the regularization parameter that somehow replaces the cross-validation process, somehow?
Sep 21, 2018 at 12:10 comment added amoeba I imagine that a fully Bayesian approach would start with a given prior and not modify it, yes. But there is also an empirical-bayes approach that optimizes over hyperparameter values: e.g. see stats.stackexchange.com/questions/24799.
