If data.type
is "Bernoulli", "Poisson" or "Exponential", a single response from the treatment group is assumed to follow Bern(\mu_t
), Pois(\mu_t
) or Exp(rate=\mu_t
), respectively,
where \mu_t
is the mean of responses for the treatment group. If data.type
is "Normal", a single response from the treatment group is assumed to follow N(\mu_t, \tau^{-1})
where \tau
is the precision parameter.
The distributional assumptions for the control group data are analogous.
samp.prior.mu.t
and samp.prior.mu.c
can be generated using the sampling priors (see example).
If data.type
is "Bernoulli", the initial prior for \mu_t
is beta(prior.mu.t.shape1
, prior.mu.t.shape2
).
If data.type
is "Poisson", the initial prior for \mu_t
is Gamma(prior.mu.t.shape1
, rate=prior.mu.t.shape2
).
If data.type
is "Exponential", the initial prior for \mu_t
is Gamma(prior.mu.t.shape1
, rate=prior.mu.t.shape2
).
The initial priors used for the control group data are analogous.
If data.type
is "Normal", historical datasets are assumed to have the same precision parameter as the current dataset for computational simplicity.
The initial prior for \tau
is the Jeffery's prior, \tau^{-1}
. The initial prior for the \mu_c
is the uniform improper prior.
Posterior samples of \mu_c
and \tau
are obtained through Gibbs sampling.
Independent beta(prior.a0.shape1
,prior.a0.shape1
) priors are used for a_0
. Posterior samples of a_0
are obtained through slice sampling. The default lower limits for the parameters are 0. The default upper limits
for the parameters are 1. The default slice widths for the parameters are 0.1.
The defaults may not be appropriate for all situations, and the user can specify the appropriate limits
and slice width for each parameter.
If a sampling prior with support in the null space is used, the value returned is a Bayesian type I error rate. If a sampling prior with support in the alternative space is used, the value returned is a Bayesian power.
The function returns a S3 object with a summary
method. Power or type I error is returned, depending on the sampling prior used.
The posterior probabilities of the alternative hypothesis are returned.
Average posterior means of \mu_t
and \mu_c
and their corresponding biases are returned.
The average posterior mean of a_0
is returned.
If data.type
is "Normal", the average posterior mean of \tau
is also returned.
