log(BF10) vs. BF10?

jxycesam

Hi,

I am trying to calculate the fit of data across H0 and H1 using a independent samples t-test. Here's the output:

May I know what is the raw value for the BF10? Given the extremely large BF10, should I report the log(BF10) instead? If so, how should I report and interpret the BF according to Jeffrey's guidelines?

I am trying to describe the results in this format: "A two-sided analysis revealed a Bayes factor (BF10) that the data were 442346 times more likely under the alternative than the null hypothesis."

Please help!

Thanks.

EJ

We are using the scientific E-notation for large numbers (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_notation#E_notation). So 2.961 e+6 is shorthand for 2.961 * 10^6 = 2,961,000. If you use the log BF, you have to exponentiate, so compute exp(14.901).

Cheers,

E.J.
