Abstract

How may we develop methods of analysis which address the consequences of the mismatch between the formal structural requirements of Bayesian analysis and the actual assessments that are carried out in practice? A paper by Watson and Holmes provides an overview of methods developed to address such issues and makes suggestions as to how such analyses might be carried out. This article adds commentary on the principles and practices which should guide us in such problems.
