摘要
A simple solution to the Behrens-Fisher problem based on Bayes factors is presented, and its relation with the Behrens-Fisher distribution is explored. The construction of the Bayes factor is based on a simple hierarchical model, and has a closed form based on the densities of general Behrens-Fisher distributions. Simple asymptotic approximations of the Bayes factor, which are functions of the Kullback-Leibler divergence between normal distributions, are given, and it is also proved to be consistent. Some examples and comparisons are also presented.
