Support for posterior::rvar-type column in data
frames. For example, a data frame df with an
rvar column ".pred" can now be called directly
via p_direction(df, rvar_col = ".pred").
Added support for {marginaleffects}
The ROPE or threshold ranges in rope(),
describe_posterior(), p_significance() and
equivalence_test() can now be specified as a list. This
allows for different ranges for different parameters.
Results from objects generated by {emmeans}
(emmGrid/emm_list) now return results with
appended grid-data.
Usability improvements for p_direction():
Results from p_direction() can directly be used in
pd_to_p().
p_direction() gets an as_p argument, to
directly convert pd-values into frequentist p-values.
p_direction() gets a remove_na
argument, which defaults to TRUE, to remove NA
values from the input before calculating the pd-values.
Besides the existing as.numeric() method,
p_direction() now also has an as.vector()
method.
p_significance() now accepts non-symmetric ranges
for the threshold argument.
p_to_pd() now also works with data frames returned
by p_direction(). If a data frame contains a
pd, p_direction or PD column
name, this is assumed to be the pd-values, which are then converted to
p-values.
p_to_pd() for data frame inputs gets a
as.numeric() and as.vector() method.
group, at,
group_by and split_by will be deprecated in
future releases of easystats packages. Please use
by instead. This affects following functions in
bayestestR: estimate_density().bayesian_as_frequentist() now supports more model
families from Bayesian models that can be successfully converted to
their frequentists counterparts.
bayesfactor_models() now throws an informative error
when Bayes factors for comparisons could not be calculated.
bayesian_as_frequentist() for
brms models with 0 + Intercept specification in
the model formula.pd_to_p() now returns 1 and a warning for values
smaller than 0.5.
map_estimate(), p_direction(),
p_map(), and p_significance() now return a
data-frame when the input is a numeric vector. (making the output
consistently a data frame for all inputs.)
Argument posteriors was renamed into
posterior. Before, there were a mix of both spellings, now
it is consistently posterior.
Fixed issues in various format() methods, which did
not work properly for some few functions (like
p_direction()).
Fixed issue in estimate_density() for double vectors
that also had other class attributes.
Fixed several minor issues and tests.
Improved speed performance when functions are called using
do.call().
Improved speed performance to bayesfactor_models()
for brmsfit objects that already included a
marglik element in the model object.
as.logical() for bayesfactor_restricted()
results, extracts the boolean vector(s) the mark which draws are part of
the order restriction.p_map() gains a new null argument to
specify any non-0 nulls.
Fixed non-working examples for
ci(method = "SI").
Fixed wrong calculation of rope range for model objects in
describe_posterior().
Some smaller bug fixes.
The minimum needed R version has been bumped to
3.6.
contr.equalprior(contrasts = FALSE) (previously
contr.orthonorm) no longer returns an identity matrix, but
a shifted diag(n) - 1/n, for consistency.
p_to_bf(), to convert p-values into Bayes factors. For
more accurate approximate Bayes factors, use
bic_to_bf().rvar
from package posterior.contr.equalprior (previously
contr.orthonorm) gains two new functions:
contr.equalprior_pairs and
contr.equalprior_deviations to aide in setting more
intuitive priors.contr.equalprior to be more
explicit about its function.p_direction() now accepts objects of class
parameters_model() (from
parameters::model_parameters()), to compute probability of
direction for parameters of frequentist models.Bayesfactor_models() for frequentist models now
relies on the updated insight::get_loglikelihood(). This
might change some results for REML based models. See
documentation.
estimate_density() argument group_by is
renamed at.
All distribution_*(random = FALSE) functions now
rely on ppoints(), which will result in slightly different
results, especially with small ns.
Uncertainty estimation now defaults to "eti"
(formerly was "hdi").
bayestestR functions now support draws
objects from package posterior.
rope_range() now handles log(normal)-families and
models with log-transformed outcomes.
New function spi(), to compute shortest probability
intervals. Furthermore, the "spi" option was added as new
method to compute uncertainty intervals.
bci() for some objects incorrectly returned the
equal-tailed intervals.describe_posterior() gains a plot()
method, which is a short cut for
plot(estimate_density(describe_posterior())).Fixed issues related to last brms update.
Fixed bug in describe_posterior.BFBayesFactor()
where Bayes factors were missing from out put ( #442 ).
log(BF) (column
name log_BF). Printing is unaffected. To retrieve the raw
BFs, you can run exp(result$log_BF).bci() (and its alias bcai()) to compute
bias-corrected and accelerated bootstrap intervals. Along with this new
function, ci() and describe_posterior() gain a
new ci_method type, "bci".contr.bayes has been renamed
contr.orthonorm to be more explicit about its
function.The default ci width has been changed to 0.95
instead of 0.89 (see here).
This should not come as a surprise to the long-time users of
bayestestR as we have been warning about this impending
change for a while now :)
Column names for bayesfactor_restricted() are now
p_prior and p_posterior (was
Prior_prob and Posterior_prob), to be
consistent with bayesfactor_inclusion() output.
Removed the experimental function mhdior.
Support for blavaan models.
Support for blrm models (rmsb).
Support for BGGM models (BGGM).

mediation() function.
Fixed remaining inconsistencies with CI values, which were not
reported as fraction for rope().
Fixed issues with special prior definitions in
check_prior(), describe_prior() and
simulate_prior().
Support for bamlss models.
Roll-back R dependency to R >= 3.4.
.stanreg methods gain a component
argument, to also include auxiliary parameters.bayesfactor_parameters() no longer errors for no
reason when computing extremely un/likely direction hypotheses.
bayesfactor_pointull() / bf_pointull()
are now bayesfactor_pointnull() /

models un-fitted from the data, representing the priors only.

BayesFactor models.

models with less than two parameters.

stanmvreg-models, which displays the wrong name for the
response-value.

only one parameter.

and describe_prior().
