This is the compilation of our comments submitted to the Journal of the Royal Statistical Society, Series B, to be published within the discussion of the Read Paper of Andrieu, Doucet and Hollenstein.

When performing regression or classification, we are interested in the conditional probability distribution for an outcome or class variable Y given a set of explanatoryor input variables X. We consider Bayesian models for this task. In…

A widely applicable Bayesian information criterion (Watanabe, 2013) is applicable for both regular and singular models in the model selection problem. This criterion tends to overestimate the log marginal likelihood. We identify an…

We commend the authors for an exciting paper which provides a strong contribution to the emerging field of probabilistic numerics (PN). Below, we discuss aspects of prior modelling which need to be considered thoroughly in future work.

We consider approximate Bayesian model choice for model selection problems that involve models whose Fisher-information matrices may fail to be invertible along other competing submodels. Such singular models do not obey the regularity…

We argue here about the relevance and the ultimate unity of the Bayesian approach in a neutral and agnostic manner. Our main theme is that Bayesian data analysis is an effective tool for handling complex models, as proven by the increasing…

We are most grateful to all discussants for their positive comments and many thought-provoking questions. In addition, the discussants provide a number of useful leads into various areas of the literatures on time series, forecasting and…

Discussion of "Bayesian Models and Methods in Public Policy and Government Settings" by S. E. Fienberg [arXiv:1108.2177]

DuMouchel and Jones (1994) proposed the Bayesian D criterion by modifying the D-optimality approach to reduce dependence of the selected design on an assumed model. This criterion has been applied to select various single-stratum designs…

We present a simple mathematical criterion for determining whether a given statistical model does not describe several independent sets of measurements, or data modes, adequately. We derive this criterion for two data sets and generalise it…

Delattre et al. (2013) investigated asymptotic properties of the maximum likelihood estimator of the population parameters of the random effects associated with n independent stochastic differential equations (SDEs) assuming that the SDEs…
