This book is good at describing the various methods which have been proposed in this area. It also gives good examples of the use of most of the methods ... . There is R code available for many of the examples on the author's web pages and this is a very positive aspect. The examples I looked at seemed to be well written. The book has exercises at the end of each chapter. ... this book will make a welcome addition to my bookshelf. If I need to calculate a marginal likelihood, for example, it will inform, or remind, me of the range of methods available. -Lawrence Pettit, Biometrics, September 2012 The book can be useful in several different ways-apart from the most obvious use as a text for a course on Bayesian model selection, it will be of value for anybody working on problems of model selection since it seems to be the first book-length treatment from a Bayesian perspective. Most of the many references are from the 1990s and 2000s, which means that the book (especially Chapters 5-9) will provide a very good overview of the Bayesian literature on model choice, especially for non-Bayesian researchers working in this area. -Thoralf Mildenberger, Statistical Papers (2012) 53
