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-subjects effects, rendering its relationship with the Bayes factor less clear in within-subjects (repeated-measures) designs. This urgent issue can be addressed by using within-subjects intervals in within-subjects designs.
