From $p$-Values to Posterior Probabilities of Hypothesis

Minimum Bayes factors are commonly used to transform two-sided p-values to lower bounds on the posterior probability of the null hypothesis, as in Pericchi et al. (2017). In this article, we show posterior probabilities of hypothesis by transforming the commonly used -eplog(p), proposed by Vovk (1993) and Sellke et al. (2001). This is achieved after adjusting this minimum Bayes factor with the information to approximate it to an exact Bayes factor, not only when p is a p-value but also when p is a pseudo p-value in the sense of Casella and Berger (2001). Additionally, we show the fit to a refined version to linear models.

Increasing the Replicability for Linear Models via Adaptive Significance Levels

We put forward an adaptive alpha (Type I Error) that decreases as the information grows, for hypothesis tests in which nested linear models are compared. A less elaborate adaptation was already presented in \citet{PP2014} for comparing general i.i.d. models. In this article we present refined versions to compare nested linear models. This calibration may be interpreted as a Bayes-non-Bayes compromise, of a simple translations of a Bayes Factor on frequentist terms that leads to statistical consistency, and most importantly, it is a step towards statistics that promotes replicable scientific findings.
