Find likelihood for a given posterior
1
$begingroup$
Let $p(z)=mathcal{N}(z|0,1)$ be the standard normal density. Is there a conditional density $p(x|z)$ that could be expressed analytically and that would make the posterior $p(z|x)=mathcal{N}(z|phi(x), bullet)$ a normal distribution whose mean is a non-linear function of $x$ (say, $phi(x)=x^2$ for example) ? The variance could be arbitrary.
