Bayesian Independent Samples t-test
The Bayesian independent samples t-test quantifies evidence for or against a mean difference between two independent groups using a Bayes factor rather than a p-value. Rooted in Jeffreys's probability framework and popularized by Rouder et al. (2009), it places a Cauchy prior on the standardized effect size and returns continuous evidence for both the null and alternative hypotheses.
