Bayesian One Sample Inference: Criteria
You can specify the following analysis criteria for your Bayesian One-Sample Inference:
- Credible interval percentage %
- Specify the significance level for computing credible intervals. The default level is 95%.
- Missing Values
- Specify the method in which to control missing values.
- Exclude cases pairwise
- This is the default setting and excludes records with missing values on a analysis by analysis basis. Records that include missing values, for a field that is used for a specific test, are omitted from the test.
- Exclude cases listwise
- This setting excludes records that include missing values listwise. Records that include missing values for any field that is named on any subcommand are excluded from all analysis.
Note: The following options are available only when either the Estimate Bayes Factor or Use Both Methods option is selected for Bayesian Analysis. - Numerical Method
- Specify the numerical method that is used to estimate the integral.
- Adaptive Gauss-Lobatto Quadrature
- This is the default setting and calls the Adaptive Gauss-Lobatto Quadrature approach.
- Tolerance
- Specify the tolerance value for the numerical methods. The default setting is 0.000001. The option is available only when the Adaptive Gauss-Lobatto Quadrature setting is selected.
- Maximum iterations
- Specify the maximum number of Adaptive Gauss-Lobatto Quadrature method iterations. The value must be a positive integer. The default setting is 2000. The option is available only when the Adaptive Gauss-Lobatto Quadrature setting is selected.
- Monte Carlo Approximation
- This option calls the Monte Carlo approximation approach.
- Set custom seed
- When selected, you can specify a custom seed value in the Seed field.
- Seed
- Specify a random seed set for the Monte Carlo Approximation method. The value must be a positive integer. By default, a random seed value is assigned.
- Number of Monte Carlo Samples
- Specify the number of points that are sampled for the Monte Carlo approximation. The value must be a positive integer. The default value is 1000000. The option is available only when the Monte Carlo Approximation setting is selected.
