Which method JASP choose to compute Bayes factor?

Dear JASP experts,

I am a beginner at bayesian data analysis, and I am curious about which method JASP choose to compute

Bayes factor? Laplace approximation? Importance sampling? Thanks a lot.

Hi Ming,

The method that JASP uses depends on the specific analysis problem. We try to use analytic solutions whenever we can, or integrate out variables before switching to a numerical procedure. Most often we integrate over a single parameter, but some applications even use reversible jump MCMC. If you go to the help file we list the R packages we use, and the documentation of those packages clarifies what methods were used.

Cheers,

E.J.
