| Abstract: | Substitution of a mixed prior distribution by a continuous one for the point null hypothesis testing problem is discussed. Conditions are established in order to approximate the Bayes factors for the two problems. Besides, trough this approximation an assignation of priorprobabilities is suggested. |
