In BencePalfi/SampleSizeBF: PKG_TITLE

Generate a Likelihood Distribution for Bayes Factor Calculation

Description

This function creates a likelihood distribution based on the specified distribution family, mean, standard error, and degrees of freedom.

Usage

create_likelihood(distribution_likelihood, mean, se, dfdata = NULL)

Arguments

distribution_likelihood	A character string specifying the likelihood distribution. Options include '"normal"' and '"t"'.
mean	The mean of the likelihood distribution.
se	The standard error of the likelihood distribution.
dfdata	The degrees of freedom (only required for '"t"' distribution).

Details

- **Normal likelihood:** Uses 'mean' and 'sd = se'. - **T-distribution likelihood:** Uses 'mean', 'sd = se', and 'df = dfdata'.

Value

A 'bayesplay' likelihood object corresponding to the specified distribution.

Examples

## Not run: 
# Normal likelihood with mean = 0 and SE = 1
normal_likelihood <- create_likelihood("normal", mean = 0, se = 1)

# T-distribution likelihood with mean = 0, SE = 1, df = 10
t_likelihood <- create_likelihood("t", mean = 0, se = 1, dfdata = 10)

## End(Not run)
