Output table with Bayes factor inference on pairwise correlations

The output table summarizes the estimated sample Pearson correlation coefficient and the Bayes factors. For the salary - salbegin pair, the estimated Pearson correlation coefficient is as high as 0.880, and the corresponding Bayes factor is < 0.001. This indicates that the observed current and beginning salaries provide significant evidence in favor of a linear correlation. On the contrary, for the salary - jobtime and salbegin - jobtime pairs, the evidence is moderate (approximately 5 times in favor of the null) and strong (approximately 25 times in favor of the null) to support no linear relationship between the pairs.
