Description

Implements the Elliptical Covering Marginal Likelihood Estimator (ECMLE), a geometric method for approximating marginal likelihood from posterior draws and log-posterior evaluations. The method constructs a collection of non-overlapping ellipsoids in a high-posterior-density region, computes the covered volume, and combines this with posterior sample coverage to estimate model evidence. It is designed to stabilize harmonic-mean-based evidence approximation and can be applied in multimodal settings. The methodology is described in Naderi et al. (2025) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2510.20617>.
