Comment: Bayesian Checking of the Second Levels of Hierarchical Models
M. Evans
TL;DR
This paper reviews Bayesian methods for detecting prior-data conflicts in hierarchical models, emphasizing the relevance of Evans and Moshonov's approach to the proposed checking method.
Contribution
It connects existing Bayesian conflict checking techniques to a new method for evaluating second-level hierarchical model components.
Findings
Highlights the importance of prior-data conflict detection
Discusses the applicability of Evans and Moshonov's methods
Provides insights into hierarchical model validation
Abstract
We discuss the methods of Evans and Moshonov [Bayesian Analysis 1 (2006) 893--914, Bayesian Statistics and Its Applications (2007) 145--159] concerning checking for prior-data conflict and their relevance to the method proposed in this paper. [arXiv:0802.0743]
