Interpretation of error variance [ Reply ]

Hi,

I'm a bit confusing about the interpretation of sig2 and g_... when summarizing (the posterior of) a model fit with BayesFactor.

For example:

data(puzzles)

bfFull = lmBF(RT ~ shape + color + shape:color + ID, data = puzzles, whichRandom = "ID")

samples = lmBF(RT ~ shape + color + shape:color + ID, data = puzzles, whichRandom = "ID", posterior = TRUE, iterations = 1000)

summary(samples)

I want to know the posterior distribution of the residuals from the model, but I'm not sure how to compute them from the outputs of summary.BF. I understand that sig2 is the error variance, but what are those g_shape, g_color, g_ID and g_shape:color?

Feeling too newbie to BF...

Cheers,

Santiago
