Testing Order Constraints: Qualitative Differences Between Bayes Factors and Normalized Maximum Likelihood

Abstract

We compared Bayes factors to normalized maximum likelihood for the simple case of selecting between an order-constrained versus a full binomial model. This comparison revealed two qualitative differences in testing order constraints regarding data dependence and model preference.
