Jun 23, 2012 at 7:09 comment added probabilityislogic it could also be due to the Laplace approximation performing poorly as well
Jun 23, 2012 at 7:07 comment added probabilityislogic Your note about Bayes factors performing well in high dimensions, but BIC performing poorly, is a likely consequence of ignoring the determinant term that the BIC approximation makes. BIC takes an approximation as $\log|A_n|\approx\log|nA_1|=p\log n+\log|A_1|$ where $A_n$ is observed informative and $A_1$ is expected information. When the dimension of the parameter space is large, $\log|A_1|=O(1)$ is a poor approximation, especially if there is very large variation in the parameter dimension across models.
