Abstract:
Bayesian hypothesis testing presents an attractive alternative to p-value hypothesis testing. Bayesian advantages include the ability to quantify evidence and the ability to monitor and update this evidence as data come in, without the need to know the intention with which the data were collected. Nevertheless, Bayesian hypothesis tests are still reported relatively rarely. An important impediment to the widespread adoption of Bayesian tests is arguably the lack of user-friendly software for the run-of-the-mill statistical problems that confront empirical scientists in almost every experiment: the t-test, ANOVA, correlation, regression, and contingency tables. In this talk I introduce JASP (jasp-stats.org), an open-source, cross platform, user-friendly graphical software package that allows users to carry out Bayesian hypothesis tests for standard statistical problems. JASP is based in part on the Bayesian analyses implemented in Morey and Rouder's BayesFactor package for R. Armed with JASP, the practical advantages of Bayesian hypothesis testing are only a mouse click away.
