The implementation of the Bayesian paradigm to model comparison can be problematic. In particular, prior distributions on the parameter space of each candidate model require special care. While it is well known that improper priors cannot be used routinely for Bayesian model comparison, we claim...

The combination of graphical models and reference analysis represents a powerful tool for Bayesian inference in highly multivariate settings. It is typically difficult to derive reference priors in complex problems. In this paper we present a suitable mixed parameterisation for a discrete...
