Two data-dependent information metrics are developed to quantify the information of the prior and likelihood functions within a parametric Bayesian model, one of which is closely related to the reference priors from Berger, Bernardo, and Sun, and information measure introduced by Lindley. A combination of theoretical, empirical, and computational support provides evidence that these information-theoretic metrics may be useful diagnostic tools when performing a Bayesian analysis.
