Abstract
We discuss Bayesian inference for parameters selected using the data. First, we provide a critical analysis of the existing positions in the literature regarding the correct Bayesian approach under selection. Second, we propose two types of non-informative priors for selection models. These priors may be employed to produce a posterior distribution in the absence of prior information as well as to provide well-calibrated frequentist inference for the selected parameter. We test the proposed priors empirically in several scenarios.
