In summary, the article explores the relevance of the Jeffreys Scale and Bayes Factor in evaluating inflationary models in cosmology. It discusses the methodology of these statistical tools, their historical context, and their application in current research. The piece concludes that while the Jeffreys Scale and Bayes Factor remain useful, their effectiveness can be affected by the complexity of models and the quality of data, prompting ongoing debate about their optimal use in testing inflationary scenarios.

I know Encyclopaedia Inflationaris (ASPIC library) used the Jeffry scale/ Bayes factor to test various inflationary models but I'm also aware there was contention in that methodology.

Does anyone know if the methodology is still being used or has it been replaced with a different methodology ?
