Description

Performing Bayesian Inference for Repeated-Measures Designs

A Bayesian credible interval is interpreted with respect to posterior probability, and this interpretation is far more intuitive than that of a frequentist confidence interval. However, standard highest-density intervals can be wide due to between-subjects variability and tends to hide within-subject effects, rendering its relationship with the Bayes factor less clear in within-subject (repeated-measures) designs. This urgent issue can be addressed by using within-subject intervals in within-subject designs, which integrate four methods including the Wei-Nathoo-Masson (2023) doi:10.3758/s13423-023-02295-1, the Loftus-Masson (1994) doi:10.3758/BF03210951, the Nathoo-Kilshaw-Masson (2018) doi:10.1016/j.jmp.2018.07.005, and the Heck (2019) doi:10.31234/osf.io/whp8t interval estimates.
