[open] Priors and groups in contingency tables

  Hi Matti,

  About contingency tables: the interpretation of the prior concentration is the main suggestion for improvement in the review process (it has gotten "minor revision" at BRM). So we'll work on that. You can think of "a" as the vector of hypothetical prior observations in each of the categories. So if "a" is high, this means your H1 is relatively similar to H0. In the present version of JASP I believe the upper limit of "a" is only 2, but we are fixing that in the new release (out this week, I hope).

  With respect to the groups, I am not 100% sure but you should be able to tell what is what from the descriptives and the posterior plots.

  Cheers,
  E.J.

  Hello,

  first I want to say how excited I am about JASP, never thought I could get enthusiastic about a statistics software but there you go

  I am considering using bayesian contingency tables in my master's thesis and I'd also be very interested in the Jamil et al. publication (2015). I couldn't find it online, still doesn't seem to be published, so is there any way I could get my hands on it?

  Thank you so much in advance!

  Anna

  Hi Anna,

  You can find a preprint on my website:

  The paper is "in press" for Behavior Research Methods.

  Cheers,
