Comment: Bayesian Checking of the Second Levels of Hierarchical Models

Abstract

We discuss the methods of Evans and Moshonov [Bayesian Analysis 1 (2006) 893--914, Bayesian Statistics and Its Applications (2007) 145--159] concerning checking for prior-data conflict and their relevance to the method proposed in this paper.
