different results when 'rows fixed' or 'columns fixed' in Bayesian contingency tables

When conducting a Bayesian contingency tables, different BF10/01 values are prouced if the 2 variables are either placed in rows then columns, or then reversed.

Any advice on how to interpret these differences? What would the difference mean?

Thank you

  • Suppose you want to compare two proportions.

    Proportion 1: 0 successes out of 5 trials

    Proportion 2: 1 success out of 6 trials

    So:

    Successes Failures

    Condition 1 0 5

    Condition 2 1 5


    If we switch the rows and columns, we have:

    Proportion 1: 0 successes out of 1 trial

    Proportion 2: 5 successes out of 5 trials

    These are different comparisons.

  • Our analysis maps onto the first of these scenarios (success/failure is the columns variable). Does this correspond to 'rows fixed' or 'columns fixed' in JASP?

    Thanks EJ !

  • You need "rows fixed" then (as the rows denote the conditions)
