Suppose M₁ and M₂ are two models where from prior knowledge we believe P(M₁) = 0.25 and P(M₂) = 0.75. We then observe a data set D. Given each model the likelihood of D is P(D|M₁) 0.5 and P(DM₂) = 0.01. Given data D which model has a higher accuracy, or probability to be correct?

Suppose M₁ and M₂ are two models where from prior knowledge
we believe P(M₁) = 0.25 and P(M₂) = 0.75. We then observe a
data set D. Given each model the likelihood of D is P(D|M₁) =
0.5 and P(D|M₂) = 0.01. Given data D which model has a higher
accuracy, or probability to be correct?
