From: Bayesian updating: increasing sample size during the course of a study
| \({BF}_{ab}\) | Interpretation |
|---|---|
| >100 | Extreme support for \({H}_{a}\) |
| 30-100 | Very strong support for \({H}_{a}\) |
| 10-30 | Strong support for \({H}_{a}\) |
| 3-10 | Moderate support for \({H}_{a}\) |
| 1-3 | Anecdotal support for \({H}_{a}\) |
| 1 | Support for neither hypothesis |
| 1/3-1 | Anecdotal support for \({H}_{b}\) |
| 1/10-1/3 | Moderate support for \({H}_{b}\) |
| 1/10-1/30 | Strong support for \({H}_{b}\) |
| 1/30-1/100 | Very strong support for \({H}_{b}\) |
| <1/100 | Extreme support for \({H}_{b}\) |
