v1.0.2

Engineering context — tests the difference in means of 3+ groups via BF₁₀. It reports directly as evidence whether the malzeme (Alüminyum, Çelik, Titanyum) groups have an effect on dayanim_kPa.

🎯 What is it for?

Instead of the classic F-test and p-value, it provides a separate BF₁₀ for each effect (main effect + interaction); a direct answer to the question “which effect really matters?”

📌 When is it used?

  • Comparing 3+ treatments/categories in Engineering — Aluminum vs Steel vs Titanium
  • When there is an interaction (2-way) — if the interaction BF₁₀ is greater than the main-effect BF₁₀, it changes the direction of the interpretation
  • Replication: reporting the “no effect” result with evidence

⚙ Assumptions

  1. Continuous DV (dayanim_kPa); categorical factor(s) (malzeme).
  2. Independent observations; groups should be reasonably balanced.
  3. Homogeneity of variance — assumed for the pingouin BF computation.

📊 MerQur Output (summary)

Bayesian ANOVA (dayanim_kPa ~ malzeme)
==================================
malzeme main effect : BF₁₀ ≈ > 30 (very strong evidence for H₁)
Groups:
Alüminyum μ̂ ≈ 280.00
Çelik μ̂ ≈ 460.00
Titanyum μ̂ ≈ 520.00

📄 APA 7 Interpretation

In the Engineering field, the effect of the malzeme groups (3 levels: Alüminyum, Çelik, Titanyum) on dayanim_kPa was examined with a Bayesian ANOVA over 105 observations. The results yielded BF₁₀ > 30 for the main effect, indicating very strong evidence in favor of H₁. The highest mean was observed in the Titanyum group.

⚠ Common Mistakes

  • Use separate Bayesian t-tests for pairwise comparisons; do not over-interpret BF₁₀.
  • Unbalanced groups affect the BF estimate.
  • If an interaction is present, interpret the main effect together with the interaction.
