#' @title Find Default Equivalence (ROPE) Region Bounds #' #' @description This function attempts at automatically finding suitable "default" #' values for the Region Of Practical Equivalence (ROPE). #' #' @details \cite{Kruschke (2018)} suggests that the region of practical #' equivalence could be set, by default, to a range from \code{-0.1} to #' \code{0.1} of a standardized parameter (negligible effect size #' according to Cohen, 1988). #' #' \itemize{ #' \item For \strong{linear models (lm)}, this can be generalised to \ifelse{html}{\out{-0.1 * SDy, 0.1 * SDy}}{\eqn{[-0.1*SD_{y}, 0.1*SD_{y}]}}. #' \item For \strong{logistic models}, the parameters expressed in log odds ratio can be converted to standardized difference through the formula \ifelse{html}{\out{π/√(3)}}{\eqn{\pi/\sqrt{3}}}, resulting in a range of \code{-0.18} to \code{0.18}. #' \item For other models with \strong{binary outcome}, it is strongly recommended to manually specify the rope argument. Currently, the same default is applied that for logistic models. #' \item For models from \strong{count data}, the residual variance is used. This is a rather experimental threshold and is probably often similar to \code{-0.1, 0.1}, but should be used with care! #' \item For \strong{t-tests}, the standard deviation of the response is used, similarly to linear models (see above). #' \item For \strong{correlations}, \code{-0.05, 0.05} is used, i.e., half the value of a negligible correlation as suggested by Cohen's (1988) rules of thumb. #' \item For all other models, \code{-0.1, 0.1} is used to determine the ROPE limits, but it is strongly advised to specify it manually. #' } #' #' @param x A \code{stanreg}, \code{brmsfit} or \code{BFBayesFactor} object. #' @param verbose Toggle warnings. #' @inheritParams rope #' #' @examples #' \dontrun{ #' if (require("rstanarm")) { #' model <- stan_glm( #' mpg ~ wt + gear, #' data = mtcars, #' chains = 2, #' iter = 200, #' refresh = 0 #' ) #' rope_range(model) #' #' model <- stan_glm(vs ~ mpg, data = mtcars, family = "binomial", refresh = 0) #' rope_range(model) #' } #' #' if (require("brms")) { #' model <- brm(mpg ~ wt + cyl, data = mtcars) #' rope_range(model) #' } #' #' if (require("BayesFactor")) { #' model <- ttestBF(mtcars[mtcars$vs == 1, "mpg"], mtcars[mtcars$vs == 0, "mpg"]) #' rope_range(model) #' #' model <- lmBF(mpg ~ vs, data = mtcars) #' rope_range(model) #' } #' } #' @references Kruschke, J.
