Hajnal's ratio in two-sample z tests

Description

In case of two independent populations N(\mu_1,\sigma_0^2) and N(\mu_2,\sigma_0^2) with known common variance \sigma_0^2, consider the two-sample z-test for testing the point null hypothesis of difference in their means H_0 : \mu_2 - \mu_1 = 0 against H_1 : \mu_2 - \mu_1 \neq 0. Based on an observed data, this function calculates the Hajnal's ratio in favor of H_1 when the prior assumed under the alternative on the difference between standardized effect sizes (\mu_2 - \mu_1)/\sigma_0 places equal probability at +\delta and -\delta (\delta>0 prefixed).

Usage

HajnalBF_twoz(obs1, obs2, n1Obs, n2Obs, mean.obs1, mean.obs2, 
              test.statistic, es1 = 0.3, sigma0 = 1)

Arguments

obs1

Numeric vector. Observed vector of data from Group-1.

obs2

Numeric vector. Observed vector of data from Group-2.

n1Obs

Numeric or numeric vector. Sample size(s) from Group-1. Same as length(obs1) when numeric.

n2Obs

Numeric or numeric vector. Sample size(s) from Group-2. Same as length(obs2) when numeric.

mean.obs1

Numeric or numeric vector. Sample mean(s) from Group-1. Same as mean(obs1) when numeric.

mean.obs2

Numeric or numeric vector. Sample mean(s) from Group-2. Same as mean(obs2) when numeric.

test.statistic

Numeric or numeric vector. Test-statistic value(s).

es1

Positive numeric. \delta as above. Default: 0.3. For this, the prior on (\mu_2 - \mu_1)/\sigma_0 takes values 0.3 and -0.3 each with equal probability 1/2.

sigma0

Positive numeric. Known common standard deviation of the populations. Default: 1.

Details

Value

Positive numeric or numeric vector. The Hajnal's ratio(s).
