bic_to_bf

The difference between two Bayesian information criterion (BIC) indices of
two models can be used to approximate Bayes factors via:
 
$$BF_{10} = e^{(BIC_0 - BIC_1)/2}$$

Provides utilities to describe posterior
distributions and Bayesian models. It includes point-estimates such as
Maximum A Posteriori (MAP), measures of dispersion (Highest Density
Interval - HDI; Kruschke, 2015 <doi:10.1016/C2012-0-00477-2>) and
indices used for null-hypothesis testing (such as ROPE percentage, pd
and Bayes factors). References: Makowski et al. (2021) <doi:10.21105/joss.01541>.
