Bayesian Estimation
Credible Intervals
Recall that the summary table in the Bayesian SEM window displays the lower and
upper endpoints of a Bayesian credible interval for each estimand. By default, Amos
presents a 50% interval, which is similar to a conventional 50% confidence interval.
Researchers often report 95% confidence intervals, so you may want to change the
boundaries to correspond to a posterior probability content of 95%.
