[Feature Request]: Highest density intervals #1884

Open Masharipov opened 1 year ago

Masharipov commented 1 year ago

Description

Credible intervals can be specified as equal-tailed intervals (ETIs) or highest density intervals (HDIs). It would be great to add option to choose between ETIs and HDIs in JASP descriptives in future releases.

Purpose

1) For heavily skewed disrtibutions, there is a noticeable difference between ETIs and HDIs. 2) To perform Bayesian parameter inference with the "HDI+ROPE" decision rule. According to this procedure, we look at whether 95% HDI falls within or outside the region of practical equivalence (ROPE) (see Kruschke, 2018).

Use-case

All Bayesian t-tests

Is your feature request related to a problem?

Credible intervals are only specified as ETIs in the current JASP version.

Describe the solution you would like

The option to specify Credible Intervals as ETIs or HDIs (In plots and tables).

Describe alternatives that you have considered
