For iid observations from a multivariate normal distribution in p dimensions with an unknown mean and a covariance matrix proportional to the Identity, we revisit the issue of the apparent irreconcilability of the classical test for a point null and the standard Bayesian formulation for testing such

We present a new test for the presence of a normal mixture distribution, based on the posterior Bayes factor of Aitkin (1991). The new test has slightly lower power than the likelihood ratio test. It does not require the computation of the MLEs of the parameters or a search for multiple maxima, but
