Objective Bayesian Comparison of Constrained Analysis of Variance Models

Abstract In the social sciences we are often interested in comparing models specified by parametric equality or inequality constraints. For instance, when examining three group means $$\{ \mu _1, \mu _2, \mu _3\}$$ { μ 1 , μ 2 , μ 3 } through an analysis of variance (ANOVA), a model may specify that $$\mu _1
