Bayes factors with (overly) informative priors

arXiv:1907.02473

Abstract

Priors in which a large number of parameters are specified to be independent are dangerous; they make it hard to learn from data. I present a couple of examples from the literature and work through a bit of large sample theory to show what happens.
