Abstract

The problem of testing a sharp null hypothesis by a Bayesian procedure shows some controversial issues. Here this problem is faced in the framework of vague distributions through the concept of pseudodensity. It is shown that the paradoxical aspects can be easily overcome by posing the problem in a proper setting which avoids resorting to probability densities.
