In particular we are  interested in analyzing the way in which we have to  think and rationalize, when dealing with a problem  of model choice. In the Classical background, this  problem is strictly related to the field of   hypotheses testing, since most of the tools used by  Classical statisticians, to support such type of  decision, are tests over parameters in the model or  likelihood ratios. In spite of this, Bayesian theory  allows us to tackle this problem in a more general  setting that does not necessarily coincide with the  hypotheses testing approach, leading us to the point  that  a threshold between these two settings is  needed. However it is not clear yet where the  hypotheses testing ends, and the model selection  begins. A possible key to the solution of this  matter lies on the definition of a statistical  model, and more specifically of a nested model. A  model selection problem with nested models  identified by inequality constraints will be  considered to illustrate this idea, with the support  of an application implemented with Matlab.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783844331547\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eA discussion from a Bayesian point of view  with application in Matlab\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783844331547","offer_id":39495926644829,"sku":"9783844331547","price":49.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/b53e123f-a8a5-4240-922c-1ae5f2d6c1ae.jpg?v=1773293875","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/model-choice-or-hypotheses-testing-von-pietro-schena","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
