Gibbs Sampling for Model Comparison
Gibbs sampling for model comparison is a Bayesian MCMC approach that simultaneously samples from the space of competing models and their parameters. By augmenting the Gibbs sampler with a discrete model-index variable, posterior model probabilities and Bayes factors are estimated from the resulting Markov chain without requiring separate runs per model.
