Bayes Factors Have Frequency Properties-This Should Not Be Ignored: A Rejoinder to Morey, Wagenmakers, and Rouder.

Hoijtink, van Kooten, and Hulsker ( 2016 ) outline a research agenda for Bayesian psychologists: evaluate and use the frequency properties of Bayes factors. Morey, Wagenmakers, and Rouder ( 2016 ) respond that Bayes factors calibrated using frequency properties should not be used. This paper contains the response of Hoijtink, van Kooten, and Hulsker to the criticism of Morey, Wagenmakers, and Rouder ( 2016 ).
