Bayesian test of one-sided hypothesis about a normal mean

Description

Computes a Bayesian test of the hypothesis that a normal mean is less than or equal to a specified value

Usage

Arguments

m0

value of the normal mean to be tested

normpar

vector of mean and standard deviation of the normal prior distribution

data

vector of sample mean, sample size, and known value of the population standard deviation

Value

BF
