Abstract Comparison of appropriate models to describe observational data is a fundamental task science. The Bayesian model evidence, or marginal likelihood, computationally challenging, yet crucial, quantity estimate perform comparison. We introduce methodology compute the evidence in simulation-based inference (SBI) scenarios (often called likelihood-free inference). In particular, we leverage recently proposed learned harmonic mean estimator and exploit fact that it decoupled from method...
