In a Bayesian analysis with data DD and prior π(θ)\pi(\theta), the marginal likelihood is p(D)=L(Dθ)π(θ)dθp(D) = \int L(D|\theta)\pi(\theta) d\theta. If the posterior is π(θD)=L(Dθ)π(θ)p(D)\pi(\theta|D) = \frac{L(D|\theta)\pi(\theta)}{p(D)}, what role does the marginal likelihood play in model selection?
