Relevant Statistics for Bayesian Model Choice
贝叶斯模型选择中的相关摘要统计量
Summary The choice of the summary statistics that are used in Bayesian inference and in particular in approximate Bayesian computation algorithms has bearings on the validation of the resulting inference. Those statistics are nonetheless customarily used in approximate Bayesian computation algorithms without consistency checks. We derive necessary and sufficient conditions on summary statistics for the corresponding Bayes factor to be convergent, namely to select the true…
