To summarize,the Bayesian framework

To summarize,the Bayesian frameworks allows are searcher to incorporate existing, previous knowledge into the statistical analysis. This is particularly useful in the context of replication studies: Anoriginal experiment has provided information about an effect and if one wants to evaluate are plication study, the information from the original should be considered. The Replication Bayes factor formalizes this and tests the hypothesis of a successful replication against the hypothesis of a null effect.
