Bayesian test of one-sided hypothesis about a normal mean

Description

Computes a Bayesian test of the hypothesis that a normal mean is less than or equal to a specified value

Usage

mnormt.onesided(m0,normpar,data)

Arguments

m0 value of the normal mean to be tested
normpar vector of mean and standard deviation of the normal prior distribution
data vector of sample mean, sample size, and known value of the population standard deviation

Value

BF Bayes factor in support of the null hypothesis

post.odds posterior odds of the null hypothesis
postH posterior probability of the null hypothesis
