Subject: [R] R-News 5/2, Bayesian Model Averaging, a detail

The article on BMA (Bayesian model averaging) presents most valuable tools for 
model selection,
but I find one detail confusing in Example 1. In page 4 of RNews 5/2, second 
paragraph says that
the probability of Time variable not being in the model is 0.445. It seems to 
me that the figure
should be 1 - 0.445 = 0.555, because p!=0.445 is the prob. of Time variable 
being in the model.
The plot in Fig.2 is in line with this, since the height of scaled PDF seems to 
be 0.445 and the
black spike points to 0.555. Have I understood this correctly?

Yes, you are absolutely right. Thanks for pointing this out.
