Running the analysis

  1. To run a Bayesian one sample - binomial distribution analysis, from the menus choose: Analyze > Bayesian Statistics > One Sample Binomial
    Figure 1. Bayesian One Sample Inference: Binomial dialog
    Bayesian One Sample Inference: Binomial dialog
  2. In the Bayesian One Sample Inference: Binomial dialog, select Gender [gender] as the Test Variable(s).
  3. Select Estimate Bayes Factor as the Bayesian Analysis. The Estimate Bayes Factor option constitutes a natural ratio to compare the marginal likelihoods between a null and an alternative hypothesis.
  4. Enter 5 as the Alternate Prior Shape and Alternate Prior Scale values. Alternate Prior Shape specifies a0 under the alternative hypothesis of Binomial inference; Alternate Prior Scale specifies b0 under the alternative hypothesis of Binomial inference.
  5. Select Level from the Success Categories list and enter f as the Value. Success categories provide options for defining conjugate prior distributions. Level treats user specified string values as cases.
  6. Click Run Analysis.
