Dilution Priors: Compensating for Model Space Redundancy

For the general Bayesian model uncertainty framework, the focus of this paper is on the development of model space priors which can compensate for redundancy between model classes, the so-called dilution priors proposed in George (1999). Several distinct approaches for dilution prior construction are suggested. One is based on tessellation determined neighborhoods, another on collinearity adjustments, and a third on pairwise distances between models
