Running the Analysis
- To run a Bayesian one sample - normal distribution analysis, from the menus choose: Figure 1. Bayesian One Sample Inference: Normal dialog box
- In the Bayesian One Sample Inference: Normal dialog, select logsalary and logsalbegin as Test Variable(s).
- Select Estimate Bayes Factor as the Bayesian Analysis. The Estimate Bayes Factor option constitutes a natural ratio to compare the marginal likelihoods between a null and an alternative hypothesis.
- Set the following values in the Data Variance and Hypothesis Values table:
- Set the logsalary variable's Null Test Value value to 10.35. The value specifies the null value that is used in the Bayes factor estimation.
- Set the logsalbegin variable values:
- Enable the Variance Known setting. Note that the g Value setting is automatically set to 1.
- Enter 0.12 as the Variance Value. The value specifies the variance value for observed data.
- Enter 9.50 as the Null Test Value. The value specifies the null value that is used in the Bayes factor estimation.
- Click OK in the Bayesian One Sample Inference: Normal dialog.
