“…Bayes factors can be used to test the null hypothesis that some effect is absent (i.e., that a parameter is zero) against an alternative hypothesis that the effect exists (i.e., that a parameter is different from zero), where Bayes factors perform the test under some prior assumed effect size. Bayes factor null hypothesis tests arguably provide a better alternative to frequentist p-values (Jeffreys, 1939;Kass & Raftery, 1995;Oberauer, 2022;Rouder, Haaf, & Vandekerckhove, 2018;Schad, Nicenboim, Bürkner, Betancourt, & Vasishth, 2022;Tendeiro & Kiers, 2019van Doorn, Aust, Haaf, Stefan, & Wagenmakers, 2021;van Ravenzwaaij & Wagenmakers, 2021;Wagenmakers, Lodewyckx, Kuriyal, & Grasman, 2010). In recent years, software has been developed that allows easy access to Bayesian hypothesis testing for lay users, such as the Bayesian analysis software WinBUGS (Lunn, Thomas, Best, & Spiegelhalter, 2000), JAGS (Plummer, 2003), PyMC3 (Salvatier, Wiecki, & Fonnesbeck, 2016), Stan (Carpenter et al, 2017), Turing (Ge, Xu, & Ghahramani, 2018), JASP (JASP Team, 2022), and others.…”
