Abstract

For the normal linear model variable selection problem, we propose selection criteria based on a fully Bayes formulation with a generalization of Zellner's gg-prior which allows for p>np>n. A special case of the prior formulation is seen to yield tractable closed forms for marginal densities and Bayes factors which reveal new model evaluation characteristics of potential interest.
