#statstab #236 Using Bayes to get the most out of non-significant results

Thoughts: A bayesian way to investigate "no effect": Bayes Factors. Cool guide on how to think about priors (post hoc even).

Thoughts: Bayesian modelling requires more scrutiny of how one's choices impact outcomes. This packages has handy functions + plots.

Thoughts: Nice tutorial. I liked the visualisation of the potential priors. It's good to think of how ordinal data might be distributed.
