Abstract
I review the framework of Bayesian model comparison as applied to cosmological model building. I then discuss some recent developments in the evaluation of the Bayesian evidence, the central quantity for Bayesian model comparison, and present applications to inflationary model building and to constraining the curvature and minimum size of the Universe. I conclude by discussing what I think are some of the open challenges in the field.File in questo prodotto:
