Audit review

The paper specifies the BGNLM/SINDy setup with Yji ~ N(fj(xi), σ^2), uses Bernoulli priors on inclusion indicators, assigns Jeffreys priors to coefficients with σ^2 fixed, explores the model space via GMJMCMC, and selects the median probability model by thresholding p(γjk=1|D) at 0.5; however, it provides no derivations for the marginal likelihood, posterior inclusion probabilities, or the optimality of the 0.5 threshold. The candidate solution supplies these missing derivations and a coherent MCMC outline consistent with the paper’s stated approach. These points match the paper’s framework and claims (model and priors; GMJMCMC; and use of the median probability model) but go beyond it by filling in the mathematics the paper omits .

Referee report (LaTeX)

\textbf{Recommendation:} minor revisions

\textbf{Journal Tier:} note/short/other

\textbf{Justification:}

A clear, concise proceedings paper that promotes a basis-free Bayesian framework for SINDy with uncertainty quantification. The modeling choices and empirical evidence are well presented, but the absence of key derivations hinders reproducibility. Minor additions (or explicit citations to derivations) would substantially improve clarity without expanding the scope.
