It has been noticed that the Gaussian Kernel is unstable if the data comes from a very long tail distribution.
If the data comes from a Cauchy distribution, the bayes factor, in general, is unstable.
We verify that switching Kernels, in general, seems to fix problems.
We try to show this in plots and by using "BayesSim"
We now show the "Cauchy v Cauchy problem". The next plot shown will be CVBFs for the Cauchy vs Cauchy problem.

We are examining the log BF, of the test that checks whether a standard Cauchy is the same as a mixture of a standard Cauchy and a Cauchy with higher location parameter.

We also compare this to the BFs produced by the Polya tree test if the base distribution is normal.

We can now compare all plots. The Polya tree that uses a Cauchy base distribution is more variable but seems to ascent more sharply than CVBF.
