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

📊 MerQur Output (summary)
==================================
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
⚠ 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.
