Invited Discussion of "Model Uncertainty and Missing Data: An Objective Bayesian Perspective" by Gonzalo García-Donato , María Eugenia Castellanos , Stefano Cabras Alicia Quirós , and Anabel Forte
Preprint · December 2, 2025 The article by Garc{í}a-Donato and co-authors addresses the dual challenges of accounting for model uncertainty and missing data within the Gaussian regression frameworks from an objective Bayesian perspective. Thru the use of an imputation $g$-prior that ... Link to item CiteInvited Discussion of "Model Uncertainty and Missing Data: An Objective Bayesian Perspective"
