摘要翻译:
Scott(2002)和Congdon(2006)提出了一种计算模型后验概率的新方法。它仅基于MCMC输出,仅限于单个模型,即它绕过了可逆跳变和其他模型探索技术。然而,正如Gelfand and Dey(1994)和Bartolucci等人所证明的那样,完全基于单个模型的MCMC输出来近似后验概率确实是可能的。(2006)中,我们指出Scott(2002)和Congdon(2006)的建议是有偏颇的,并对本论文提出了几个论点,主要是混淆了基于模型的后验子和关节伪后验子。从实际的观点来看,Scott(2002)近似中的偏差似乎比Congdon(2006)近似中的偏差严重得多,后者通常与它所近似的后验概率相同,尽管我们也展示了一个例子,其中与真实后验概率的偏差是极端的。

英文摘要:
In Scott (2002) and Congdon (2006), a new method is advanced to compute posterior probabilities of models under consideration. It is based solely on MCMC outputs restricted to single models, i.e., it is bypassing reversible jump and other model exploration techniques. While it is indeed possible to approximate posterior probabilities based solely on MCMC outputs from single models, as demonstrated by Gelfand and Dey (1994) and Bartolucci et al. (2006), we show that the proposals of Scott (2002) and Congdon (2006) are biased and advance several arguments towards this thesis, the primary one being the confusion between model-based posteriors and joint pseudo-posteriors. From a practical point of view, the bias in Scott's (2002) approximation appears to be much more severe than the one in Congdon's (2006), the later being often of the same magnitude as the posterior probability it approximates, although we also exhibit an example where the divergence from the true posterior probability is extreme.
