title: 'ECMLE: Approximating Evidence via Bounded Harmonic Means'
version: 0.1.0
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.ECMLE
abstract: 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) <https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2510.20617>.
