We discuss two main points about Bayes factors in a nonparametric context: a) the performance of the Bayes factor with non-nested nonparametric models, and b) the structure of the Bayes factor when the two compared models are centerd on discrete parametric models, for instance they are nonparametric neighbourhoods of discrete parametric models.

Abstract

We discuss two main points about Bayes factors in a nonparametric context: a) the performance of the Bayes factor with non-nested nonparametric models, and b) the structure of the Bayes factor when the two compared models are centerd on discrete parametric models, for instance they are nonparametric neighbourhoods of discrete parametric models.
