Bayesian one-sample t-test/Evidence
Method evidence record

Bayesian one-sample t-test

The Bayesian one-sample t-test compares a single group's mean against a fixed reference value using a Bayes factor rather than a p-value. It quantifies the evidence the data provide for the null hypothesis (mean equals the reference) versus the alternative, and yields a full posterior distribution over the effect size — enabling statements about practical magnitude, not just a binary reject-or-retain decision.
