In case of two independent populations N(μ_1,σ_0^2) and N(μ_2,σ_0^2) with known common variance σ_0^2, consider the two-sample z-test for testing the point null hypothesis of difference in their means H_0 : μ_2 - μ_1 = 0 against H_1 : μ_2 - μ_1 \neq 0. For a sequentially observed data, this function implements the Sequential Bayes Factor design when a normal moment prior is assumed on the difference between standardized effect sizes (μ_2 - μ_1)/σ_0 under the alternative.
1 2 3 4 |
obs1 |
Numeric vector. The vector of sequentially observed data from Group-1. |
obs2 |
Numeric vector. The vector of sequentially observed data from Group-2. |
tau.NAP |
Positive numeric. Parameter in the moment prior. Default: 0.3/√2. This places the prior modes of the difference between standardized effect sizes (μ_2 - μ_1)/σ_0 at 0.3 and -0.3. |
sigma0 |
Positive numeric. Known standard deviation in the population. Default: 1. |
RejectH1.threshold |
Positive numeric. H_0 is accepted if BF ≤ |
RejectH0.threshold |
Positive numeric. H_0 is rejected if BF ≥ |
batch1.size |
Integer vector. The vector of batch sizes from Group-1 at each sequential comparison. Default: |
batch2.size |
Integer vector. The vector of batch sizes from Group-2 at each sequential comparison. Default: |
return.plot |
Logical. Whether a sequential comparison plot to be returned. Default: |
until.decision.reached |
Logical. Whether the sequential comparison is performed until a decision is reached or until the data is observed. Default: |
A list with three components named N1
, N2
, BF
, and decision
.
$N1
and $N2
contains the number of sample size used from Group-1 and 2.
$BF
contains the Bayes factor values at each sequential comparison.
$decision
contains the decision reached. 'A'
indicates acceptance of H_0, 'R'
indicates rejection of H_0, and 'I'
indicates inconclusive.
