In this paper, we consider the stochastic volatility which is used to measure the fluctuation of financial assets. Based on the stochastic volatility model introduced by Taylor (1986) a Bayesian point of view is taken to estimate the stochastic volatility by MCMC methods. The performance of these methods is evaluated in a simulation study. In addition, they are applied to a real dataset for estimating the volatility of swap rates.
