The statement verdict table. Distinguishing-for-a-factor is the joint event that every contrast touching that factor exceeds the posterior critical difference delta_kl (computed from the posterior spread of the score contrasts); consensus is the equivalence event that all scores sit within one grid column (delta_grid()) of each other. Both families are selected through the posterior false-discovery rule, and a statement can be distinguishing, consensus, or indeterminate.

Usage

compute_qdc(fit, q = 0.05, cons_floor = 0.95, prob = NULL)

Arguments

fit

A bayesqm_fit with K >= 2.

q

Posterior expected false-discovery bound (default 0.05).

cons_floor

Minimum consensus probability before a statement can be selected as consensus (default 0.95).

prob

Credible-interval probability for the contrast intervals; defaults to the fit's. The critical difference itself keeps its z_0.975 definition regardless.

Value

A data frame with one row per statement: per-factor distinguishing probabilities, consensus_prob, and the verdict. Attributes: delta_kl and delta_kl99 (per pair), delta_grid, contrasts (the per-pair contrast table with intervals, the probability diff_column_prob that the two viewpoints place the statement in different grid columns, and stars, * for selected claims and ** for those that also clear the z_0.995 critical difference at probability .99), and expected_false per family.
