Bayesian Linear Regression: What does letter "e" mean in my BF10 value?

  I believe i understand it now. Does that mean that my BF is 2.12 + 11 times zero?

  
  

  What does P(M), P(M|data) and BFm stand for? In below example, in normal linear regression predictor 2 is non-significant. If i understand correctly, those results suggest that model with 1 predictor is the best?

  Sorry about the delay! The "e" is scientific notation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_notation, see E-notation) for large numbers. So 2.12e+11 means 2.12 and then move the period 11 positions to the right, so it is 212000000000. In other words, a lot.

  With respect to what the table means, here are two relevant papers:
