What is the Bayes factor?

Image

The Bayes factor (B) compares the probability of an experimental theory to the probability of the null hypothesis.
It gives the means of adjusting your odds in a continuous way.

  • If B is greater than 1, your data support the experimental hypothesis over the null
  • If B is less than 1, your data support the null over
