A new Bayesian procedure for testing point null hypotheses

Abstract: Testing point null hypotheses is a very common activity in various applied situations. However, the existing Bayesian testing procedure may give evidence which does not agree with the classical frequentist p-value in many point null testing situations. A typical example for this is the well known Lindley's paradox (Lindley in Biometrika 44:187-192, 1957). In this paper we propose an alternative testing procedure in the Bayesian framework. It is shown that for many classical testing examples, the Bayesian evid… Show more

“…More discussions and arguments concerning Lindley's paradox, can be found in [3], [4] and [2]. [5] developed a Bayesian hypothesis testing framework that solves Lindley's paradox in a one sample case. Using Jeffreys' independent prior, [6] extended the methodology of [5] to solve the Behrens-Fisher Problem so as to avoid Lindleys' Paradox.…”
