Illustrating Bayesian Evaluation of Informative Hypotheses for Regression Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the present article we illustrate a Bayesian method of evaluating informative hypotheses for regression models. Our main aim is to make this method accessible to psychological researchers without a mathematical or Bayesian background. The use of informative hypotheses is illustrated using two datasets from psychological research. In addition, we analyze generated datasets with manipulated differences in effect size to investigate how Bayesian hypothesis evaluation performs when the magnitude of an effect changes. After reading this article the reader is able to evaluate his or her own informative hypotheses.

The logistic regression model is one of the statistical models that widely used to analyze binary response data. Bayesian and maximum likelihood methods were used to model binary data for prostate cancer. In Bayesian method Gibbs sampling algorithm was used to select 5 millions samples from posterior distribution of logistic coefficients under flat non-informative prior. Then mean, standard dev...

We present an educational tool for bringing the information contained in a Bayesian network to the end user in an easily intelligible form. The BANTER shell is designed to tutor users in evaluation of hypotheses and selection of optimal diagnostic procedures. BANTER can be used with any Bayesian network containing nodes that can be classified into hypotheses, observations, and diagnostic proced...
متن کاملBayesian Sample size Determination for Longitudinal Studies with Continuous Response using Marginal Models
Introduction Longitudinal study designs are common in a lot of scientific researches, especially in medical, social and economic sciences. The reason is that longitudinal studies allow researchers to measure changes of each individual over time and often have higher statistical power than cross-sectional studies. Choosing an appropriate sample size is a crucial step in a successful study. A st...
متن کاملA short introduction into Bayesian evaluation of informative hypotheses as an alternative to exploratory comparisons of multiple group means
This paper presents an introduction into Bayesian evaluation of informative hypotheses, that is, hypotheses representing explicit expectations about multiple group means (Hoijtink, 2011; Hoijtink, Klugkist & Boelen, 2008). The authors begin by discussing some limits of exploratory methods before presenting a non-technical overview of the Bayesian approach. References are provided for the techni...
