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.
