摘要： The visualization shows a Bayesian two-sample t test, for simplicity the variance is assumed to be known. It illustrates both Bayesian estimation via the posterior distribution for the effect, and Bayesian hypothesis testing via Bayes factor. The frequentist p-value is also shown. The null hypothesis, H0 is that the effect δ = 0, and the alternative H1: δ ≠ 0, just like a two-tailed t test. You can use the sliders to vary the observed effect (Cohen's d), sample size (n per group) and the prior on δ.

About the visualization
The prior on the effect is a scaled unit-information prior. The black, and red circle on the curves represents the likelihood of 0 under the prior and posterior. Their likelihood ratio is the Savage-Dickey density ratio, which I use here as to compute Bayes factor. The p-value is the traditional p-value for a two-sample t test with known variance (i.e. a Z test). HDI is the posterior highest density interval, which in this case is analogous a credible interval. And CI is the traditional frequentist confidence interval.

Definitely I Check out Alexander Etz's blog series "Understanding Bayes" for a certainly good introduction to Bayes factor as I am impress with his topic presented style and writing manner. However I am design nursing personal statement - http://www.personalstatementfolks.co.uk/nursing-personal-statement/ as I am personal statement writer, but could like to pass these blog series to those students who want to get Mathematics and Natural Science degree and that’s why visit our consultancy Personal Statement Folks for design eye-catching, unique and error-free personal statement. So they can also learn Bayes factor easily.
