Robust Bayesian T-Test (RoBTT)

This package provides an implementation of Bayesian model-averaged t-tests that allows users to draw inference about the presence vs absence of the effect, heterogeneity of variances, and outliers. The RoBTT packages estimates model ensembles of models created as a combination of the competing hypotheses and uses Bayesian model-averaging to combine the models using posterior model probabilities. Users can obtain the model-averaged posterior distributions and inclusion Bayes factors which account for the uncertainty in the data generating process. User can define a wide range of informative priors for all parameters of interest. The package provides convenient functions for summary, visualizations, and fit diagnostics.

See our manuscripts for more information about the methodology:

• Maier et al. (2024) introduces a robust Bayesian t-test that model-averages over normal and t-distributions to account for the uncertainty about potential outliers,
• Godmann et al. (2024) introduces a truncated Bayesian t-test that accounts for outlier exclusion when estimating the models.

We also prepared vignettes that illustrate functionality of the package:

• Introduction to RoBTT
• Truncated T-Tests
