Comments on the measurement of effect sizes for indirect effects in Bayesian analysis of variance
1Department of Business Administration, Jeonbuk National University.
Abstract:
Bayesian analysis of variance (BANOVA), implemented through R packages, offers a Bayesian approach to analyzing experimental data. A tutorial in Psychological Methods extensively documents BANOVA. This note critically examines a method for evaluating mediation using partial eta-squared as an effect size measure within the BANOVA framework. We first identify an error in the formula for partial eta-squared and propose a corrected version. Subsequently, we discuss limitations in the interpretability of this effect size measure, drawing on previous research, and argue for its potential unsuitability in assessing indirect effects in mediation analysis.

Different sample means can result in different values for the variance estimate: variance between samples. This is because the variance between samples is calculated as the product of the sample size and the variance between the...
