R Documentation

General S4 class for representing multiple odds model comparisons, all against the same model

Description

The BFodds class is a general S4 class for representing models model comparison via prior or posterior odds.

Usage

## S4 method for signature 'numeric,BFodds'
e1 / e2

## S4 method for signature 'BFodds,BFodds'
e1 / e2

## S4 method for signature 'BFodds,BFBayesFactor'
e1 * e2

## S4 method for signature 'BFodds,index,missing,missing'
x[i, j, ..., drop = TRUE]

Arguments

`e1`	Numerator of the ratio
`e2`	Denominator of the ratio
`x`	BFodds object
`i`	indices indicating elements to extract
`j`	unused for BFodds objects
`...`	further arguments passed to related methods
`drop`	unused

Details

BFodds objects can be inverted by taking the reciprocal and can be divided by one another, provided both objects have the same denominator. In addition, the t (transpose) method can be used to invert odds objects.

The BFodds class has the following slots defined:

numerator: a list of models all inheriting BFmodel, each providing a single numerator
denominator: a single BFmodel object serving as the denominator for all model comparisons
logodds: a data frame containing information about the (log) prior odds between each numerator and the denominator
bayesFactor: a BFBayesFactor object (possibly) containing the evidence from the data.
version: character string giving the version and revision number of the package that the model was created in
