-
A.
Bayes factor
The Bayes factor is a Bayesian model comparison metric that quantifies how much more strongly data support one statistical model or hypothesis over another.
-
B.
Bayesian Occam factor
The Bayesian Occam factor is a term in Bayesian model comparison that automatically penalizes overly complex models by integrating over their larger parameter spaces, thereby implementing Occam’s razor in probabilistic inference.
-
C.
Bayesian model averaging
Bayesian model averaging is a statistical technique that combines predictions from multiple models by weighting them according to their posterior probabilities to account for model uncertainty.
-
D.
Jeffreys prior
Jeffreys prior is an objective Bayesian prior distribution defined to be invariant under reparameterization by constructing it from the square root of the determinant of the Fisher information matrix.
-
E.
Bayes
Bayes is a surname most famously associated with Thomas Bayes, the 18th-century statistician and minister whose work led to the development of Bayesian probability theory.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
