\usage{
bayesfactor_models(..., denominator = 1, verbose = TRUE)
bf_models(..., denominator = 1, verbose = TRUE)
}
\arguments{
\item{...}{Fitted models (see details), all fit on the same data, or a single \code{BFBayesFactor} object (see 'Details').}
\item{denominator}{Either an integer indicating which of the models to use as the denominator,
or a model to be used as a denominator. Ignored for \code{BFBayesFactor}.}
\item{verbose}{Toggle off warnings.}
}
\value{
A data frame containing the models' formulas (reconstructed fixed and random effects) and their BFs, that prints nicely.
}
\description{
This function computes or extracts Bayes factors from fitted models.
\cr \cr
The \code{bf_*} function is an alias of the main function.
}
\details{
If the passed models are supported by \pkg{insight} the DV of all models will be tested for equality
(else this is assumed to be true), and the models' terms will be extracted (allowing for follow-up
analysis with \code{bayesfactor_inclusion}).
\itemize{
\item For \code{brmsfit} or \code{stanreg} models, Bayes factors are computed using the \CRANpkg{bridgesampling} package.
\itemize{
\item \code{brmsfit} models must have been fitted with \code{save_all_pars = TRUE}.
\item \code{stanreg} models must have been fitted with a defined \code{diagnostic_file}.
}
\item For \code{BFBayesFactor}, \code{bayesfactor_models()} is mostly a wraparoud \code{BayesFactor::extractBF()}.
\item For all other model types (supported by \CRANpkg{insight}), BIC approximations are used to compute Bayes factors.
}
In order to correctly and precisely estimate Bayes factors, a rule of thumb are
the 4 P's: \strong{P}roper \strong{P}riors and \strong{P}lentiful \strong{P}osterior
(i.e. probably at leat 40,000 samples instead of the default of 4,000).
\cr \cr
A Bayes factor greater than 1 can be interpereted as evidence against the compared-to
model (the denominator). One convention is that a Bayes factor greater than 3 can be considered
as "substantial" evidence against the denominator model (and vice versa, a Bayes factor
smaller than 1/3 indicates substantial evidence in favor of the denominator model)
(\cite{Wetzels et al. 2011}).
