postNormVar: Variance of normalized power prior

In ppRep: Analysis of Replication Studies using Power Priors

Variance of normalized power prior

Description

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

Usage

postNormVar(vardata, priorvar, alpha = 1)

Arguments

vardata	Variance of the data.
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 variance
