Abstract:

this paper, we assume that there are a finite number of possible true models. For each possible model m, we define the random (vector) variable \Theta m whose values correspond to the possible values of the parameters for m. We encode our uncertainty about \Theta m using the probability distribution p(\Theta m jm). In this paper, we assume that p(\Theta m jm) is a probability density function. Given random sample D, we compute the posterior distributions for M and each \Theta m
