Paper Recommendation
Good evening, everyone! I'm in the process of writing a manuscript on an informed Bayesian prior generated upon the results of a robust Bayesian meta analysis outcome of a collection of pediatric therapy studies. I then took the informed prior and tested its power for basic between-groups analyses across effect sizes and sample sizes while controlling type I error, simming the informed prior as a Bayesian t-test versus a Bayesian t-test with a default Cauchy prior, a inferential t-test and the Mann-Whitney U test. Thing is, is that this is my first shot at this after reading/learning/practicing the concept, and I would love to see an example of another manuscript that has done the "prior generated from a meta analysis" step before. Are there any great examples of this I could use as a exemplar? Thank you!

Thank you, EJ! You were just the man I was hoping would respond when I made this thread. I'll dig into your works now, and I appreciate the fast response.
