Description

In two-sided fixed design two-sample t-tests with composite alternative prior assumed on the difference between standardized effect sizes (μ_2 - μ_1)/σ under the alternative, this function calculates the expected log(Hajnal's ratio) at a prefixed standardized effect size for a varied range of sample sizes.

fixedHajnal.twot_es(es = 0, es1 = 0.3, n1min = 20, n2min = 20, 
                    n1max = 5000, n2max = 5000, 
                    batch1.size.increment, batch2.size.increment, 
                    nReplicate = 50000)

Arguments

es

Numeric. Difference between standardized effect sizes where the expected weights of evidence is desired. Default: 0.

es1

Positive numeric. δ as above. Default: 0.3. For this, the prior on (μ_2 - μ_1)/σ takes values 0.3 and -0.3 each with equal probability 1/2.

n1min

Positive integer. Minimum sample size from Grpup-1 to be considered. Default: 20.

n2min

Positive integer. Minimum sample size from Grpup-2 to be considered. Default: 20.

n1max

Positive integer. Maximum sample size from Grpup-1 to be considered. Default: 5000.

n2max

Positive integer. Maximum sample size from Grpup-2 to be considered. Default: 5000.

batch1.size.increment

Positive numeric. Increment in sample size from Group-1. The sequence of sample size thus considered from Group-1 for the fixed design test is from n1min to n1max with an increment of batch1.size.increment. Default: function(narg){20}. This means an increment of 20 samples from Group-1 at each step.

batch2.size.increment

Positive numeric. Increment in sample size from Group-2. The sequence of sample size thus considered from Group-2 for the fixed design test is from n2min to n2max with an increment of batch2.size.increment. Default: function(narg){20}. This means an increment of 20 samples from Group-2 at each step.

nReplicate

Positve integer. Number of replicated studies based on which the expected weights of evidence is calculated. Default: 50,000.

Value

A list with two components named summary and BF.

$summary is a data frame with columns n containing the values of sample sizes and avg.logBF containing the expected log(Hajnal's ratios) at those values.

$BF is a matrix of dimension number of sample sizes considered by nReplicate. Each row contains the Hajnal's ratios at the corresponding sample size in nReplicate replicated studies.
