Normal_ID: Normal Prior Distribution Identifier

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) Examples

Description

Uses the subject matter researcher's knowledge to generate a corresponding Normal prior distribution.

Usage

1
Normal_ID(Low, High, Cover = NULL)

Arguments

Low

researchers LOWEST value for the parameter.

High

researchers HIGHEST value for the parameter.

Cover

coverage for the Low and High values provided.

Details

solves to provide graphical and textual information about an appropriate Normal prior distribution.

Value

Provides graphical as well as full textual description of a suitable Normal distribution for researcers based on their knowledge about how High or Low the parameter has been found in the literature. Also, helps researcher to revise their prior by issuing various messages.

# Suppose a researcher needs a Normal prior for a Cohen d effect size that in
# his/her view can't be less than -3 and more than +3. The researcher believes
# these two limit values cover 95% of all possible values that this parameter
# can take:


 Normal_ID (Low = -3, High = 3, Cover = '95%')



# User can also use any value that is between 0 and 1 for the argument
# cover without using percentage sign:



Normal_ID (Low = -3, High = 3, Cover = 95)
