postNormMean: Mean of normalized power prior

In ppRep: Analysis of Replication Studies using Power Priors

Mean of normalized power prior

Description

This function computes the mean of a normalized power prior conditional on a fixed power parameter and an initial normal prior for the effect size.

Usage

postNormMean(dat, vardata, priormean, priorvar, alpha = 1)

Arguments

dat	Data.
vardata	Variance of the data.
priormean	Mean parameter of initial normal prior. Defaults to 0.
priorvar	Variance parameter of initial normal prior. Defaults to Inf (uniform prior).
alpha	Power parameter. Indicates to which power the likelihood of the data is raised. Can be set to a number in [0, 1]. Defaults to 1.

Value

Prior mean
