Description

In two-sided fixed design one-sample t-tests with normal moment prior assumed on the standardized effect size μ/σ under the alternative, this function calculates the expected weights of evidence (that is, expected log(Bayes Factor)) of the test at a prefixed standardized effect size for a varied range of sample sizes.

fixedNAP.onet_es(es = 0, nmin = 20, nmax = 5000, 
                 tau.NAP = 0.3/sqrt(2),
                 batch.size.increment, nReplicate = 50000)

Arguments

es

Numeric. Standardized effect size where the expected weights of evidence is desired. Default: 0.

nmin

Positive integer. Minimum sample size to be considered. Default: 20.

nmax

Positive integer. Maximum sample size to be considered. Default: 5000.

tau.NAP

Positive numeric. Parameter in the moment prior. Default: 0.3/√2. This places the prior modes of the standardized effect size μ/σ at 0.3 and -0.3.

batch.size.increment

Positive numeric. Increment in sample size. The sequence of sample size thus considered for the fixed design test is from nmin to nmax with an increment of batch.size.increment. Default: function(narg){20}. This means an increment of 20 samples 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 weight of evidence values at those values.

$BF is a matrix of dimension number of sample sizes considered by nReplicate. Each row contains the Bayes factor values at the corresponding sample size in nReplicate replicated studies.
