Test based Bayes Factors for BMA Models

Description

Creates an object representing the prior distribution on coefficients for BAS that corresponds to the test-based Bayes Factors.

Usage

testBF.prior(g)

Arguments

g

a scalar used in the covariance of Zellner's g-prior, Cov(beta) = sigma^2 g (X'X)^-

Details

Creates a prior object structure used for BAS in 'bas.glm'.

Value
