BayesFactor (version 0.9.12-4.7)

BFBayesFactorList-class: General S4 class for representing a collection of Bayes factor model comprisons, each against a different denominator

Description

The BFBayesFactorList class is a general S4 class for representing models model comparison via Bayes factor. See the examples for demonstrations of BFBayesFactorList methods.

Usage

# S4 method for BFBayesFactorList
t(x)
# S4 method for numeric,BFBayesFactorList
/(e1, e2)
# S4 method for BFBayesFactorList,index,index,missing
[(x, i, j, ..., drop = TRUE)
# S4 method for BFBayesFactorList,index,missing,missing
[(x, i, j, ..., drop = TRUE)
# S4 method for BFBayesFactorList,missing,index,missing
[(x, i, j, ..., drop = TRUE)

Arguments

x

a BFBayesFactorList object

e1

Numerator of the ratio

e2

Denominator of the ratio

i

indices specifying rows to extract

j

indices specifying columns to extract

...

drop

unused

Details

BFBayesFactorList objects inherit from lists, and contain a single slot:

version

character string giving the version and revision number of the package that the model was created in

Each element of the list contains a single "BFBayesFactor" object. Each element of the list must have the same numerators, in the same order, as all the others. The list object is displayed as a matrix of Bayes factors.

Examples

## Compute some Bayes factors to demonstrate Bayes factor lists
data(puzzles)
bfs <- anovaBF(RT ~ shape*color + ID, data = puzzles, whichRandom = "ID", progress=FALSE)

## Create a matrix of Bayes factors
bfList <- bfs / bfs
bfList

## Use indexing to select parts of the 'matrix'
bfList[1,]
bfList[,1]

## We can use the t (transpose) function as well, to get back a BFBayesFactor
t(bfList[2,])

## Or transpose the whole matrix
t(bfList)
