pvalue: Bayesian P-Value

In extras: Helper Functions for Bayesian Analyses

Bayesian P-Value

Description

A Bayesian p-value (p) is here defined in terms of the quantile-based (1-p) * 100% credible interval (CRI) that just includes a threshold (Kery and Schaub 2011). By default a p-value of 0.05 indicates that the 95% CRI just includes 0.

Usage

pvalue(x, threshold = 0, na_rm = FALSE)

Arguments

x	A numeric vector of MCMC values.
threshold	A number of the threshold value.
na_rm	A flag specifying whether to remove missing values.

Value

A number between 0 and 1.
