INFERENCE Subcommand (BAYES CORRELATION command)

INFERENCE specifies the distribution and variables for the analysis.

VARIABLES = varlist. Specify the variables to use for pairwise correlation inference. At least two source variables must be specified. When more than two variables are specified, the analysis is run on all of the specified variables' pairwise combinations.

ANALYSIS. Specify the Bayesian analysis method that is used to make statistical inference. Only one value is allowed. Posterior distribution characterization is the default setting. When ANALYSIS = BAYESFACTOR, only the Bayes-factor estimation procedure is invoked. When ANALYSIS = BOTH, both of the procedures are used.

CVALUE = value. Specify the value c for the prior p(ρ)∝(1−ρ²)^c. 0 is the default setting, which indicates the uniform prior. Any single real number is allowed.

MAXPLOTS = integer. Specify the maximum set of the plots to see in the output. A set of plots can contain 3 plots on the same pane. The plots are generated in order from the first variable versus the remaining variables, then the second variable versus the remaining variables, and so on. The defined integer value must be between 0 and 50. By default, 10 sets of plots are output to accommodate five variables. This option is not available when the Estimate Bayes Factor is selected.
