Replication Studies and Flexibility

Question 1

How does Bayesian statistics handle replication studies?

Answer 1

Bayesian statistics accommodates replication studies by updating prior beliefs with new data. The Bayes Factor can be used iteratively as more evidence becomes available.

Question 2

What role does the expected effect size play in Bayesian hypothesis testing?

Answer 2

The expected effect size informs the Bayesian model, representing the researcher’s belief about the likely magnitude of the effect. This helps guide the interpretation of results.
