Compute Savage-Dickey inclusion Bayes factors

Source: R/marginal-distributions.R

Computes Savage-Dickey (density ratio) inclusion Bayes factors based the change of height from prior to posterior distribution at the test value.

Savage_Dickey_BF(
  posterior,
  null_hypothesis = 0,
  normal_approximation = FALSE,
  silent = FALSE
)

Arguments

posterior

marginal posterior distribution generated via the marginal_posterior function

null_hypothesis

point null hypothesis to test. Defaults to 0

normal_approximation

whether the height of prior and posterior density should be approximated via a normal distribution (rather than kernel density). Defaults to FALSE.

silent

whether warnings should be returned silently. Defaults to FALSE

Value

Savage_Dickey_BF returns a Bayes factor.
