A reference Bayesian test for nested hypotheses and its relationship to the Schwarz criterion

RE Kass, L Wasserman - Journal of the american statistical …, 1995 - Taylor & Francis
… It is difficult to compute an exact answer here, so we resorted to the following Monte Carlo
method. First, we drew a sample from the posterior using Gibbs sampling as described by …

Approximate Bayesian inference in conditionally independent hierarchical models (parametric empirical Bayes models)

RE Kass, D Steffey - Journal of the American Statistical Association, 1989 - Taylor & Francis
We consider two-stage models of the kind used in parametric empirical Bayes (PEB)
methodology, calling them conditionally independent hierarchical models. We suppose that there …
