I've read here that




... (Bayesian linear regression) is most similar to Bayesian inference
in logistic regression, but in some ways logistic regression is even
simpler, because there is no variance term to estimate, only the
regression parameters.




Why is it the case, why no variance term in Bayesian logistic regression?

          $begingroup$

          Logistic regression, Bayesian or not, is a model defined in terms of Bernoulli distribution. The distribution is parametrized by "probability of success" $p$ with mean $p$ and variance $p(1-p)$, i.e. the variance directly follows from the mean. So there is no "separate" variance term, this is what the quote seems to say.
