BFodds-class {BayesFactor} | 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
