| Summary: | The causal dissipative model is a plausible choice to explain the late accelerated epoch of the universe. At the same time, Λ CDM is considered the standard model to explain the cosmological data corresponding to the late evolution of the universe. We consider a bulk viscous model in which dissipation is driven by the bulk viscosity ζ= αρ1 / 2, described using the full causal Israel-Stewart theory. We computed the model parameters using the latest observational data (Pantheon). We contrasted this model with Λ CDM model for the late accelerated phase using the Bayesian inference method. The Bayes factor was obtained by calculating the likelihood for Pantheon data. Suitable prior values were assumed for model parameters to calculate the likelihood. It shows that the evidence for Λ CDM against this viscous model is very strong according to the Jeffreys scale. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature B.V.
