You can use the value after “marginal L estimate” to compare models.

Say, the marginal likelihood estimate value for model 1 is X and the value for model 2 is Y, then the Bayes factor comparing model s1 and 2 is is X-Y. If this difference is positive, then the Bayes factor is in favour of model 1, if it is negative, it is in favour of model 2.

 

つまり絶対値が0に近いモデルが、よりfitした(採用すべき)モデルという事。
