Gelman, A., Meng, X., & Stern, H. (1996). posterior predictive check.
Retired. This entry was not a citation. Our extractor stored an inline prose definition from the article as though it were a bibliographic record: the title names a concept rather than a published work, and the citation text names no work at all. The page is kept because links to it still resolve, but it is withdrawn from the reference list. This entry is kept so the citations that pointed at it still resolve, and so the correction is visible rather than silent.

Mechanisms¶
- Predictive Replication Check
- The idea is the posterior predictive check — simulate data under the fitted model and see whether the real data look like a plausible draw — and its power is precisely that it tests the whole generative story, not one moment of it.
This sourceIt tests the model's whole generative story rather than a single summary statistic.
