Installation

## from GitHub
## install.packages("remotes") # requires remotes package
remotes::install_github(repo = "SamCH93/BayesRep")

Usage

library("BayesRep")

## Original effect estimate and standard error
to <- 0.2
so <- 0.05

## Replication effect estimate and standard error 
tr <- 0.15
sr <- 0.04

## Compute and format sceptical Bayes factor
scepticalBF <- BFs(to = to, so = so, tr = tr, sr = sr)
formatBF(scepticalBF)

#> [1] "1/20"

## Compute and format replication Bayes factor
repBF <- BFr(to = to, so = so, tr = tr, sr = sr)
formatBF(repBF)

#> [1] "1/521"

## Plot posterior distribution of effect size
repPosterior(to = to, so = so, tr = tr, sr = sr)
