BC_normal_sd1sd0 {si4bayesmeta}R Documentation

Bhattacharyya coefficient between two normal densities: the spread modification

Description

Computes the Bhattacharyya coefficient (the sd-part) between two normal densities with means m1 and m0 and standard deviations sd1 and sd0

Usage

BC_normal_sd1sd0(sd1, sd0)

Arguments

sd1

standard deviation of the first normal density

sd0

standard deviation of the second normal density

Details

The function returns the sd-part of the BC under normal approximation according to Roos et al. (2020). This part quantifies the spread modification.

Value

A numeric value is returned.
