In AldoCP/MetaBiasR: Assessment of Bias in a Meta-Analysis in a Bayesian framework

Description

Value of the definite integral of L0, evaluated around the distribution's mean

Usage

nullmass(y, sig, sig_prior = 2)

Arguments

y	a vector of length n (n=number of studies) representing the effect (standardized mean difference)
sig	a vector of length n (n=number of studies) representing the corresponding sampling standard deviation sqrt(variance)
sig_prior	a numeric entry representing the standard deviation's prior; default: 2

Details

This is an auxiliary function to obtain the definite integral of L0, evaluated around the distribution's mean. It calls the logL0 function, and performs integration using integrate. The output is later called by BFbias to compute the Bayes Factor.

Value

the value of the definite integral of the L0 distribution, evaluated around its mean (+-10 standard deviations)
