Table 2.

Table reproduced from Jeffreys (1936a, p. 352)

n. b/σb. n. b/σb. n. b/σb.
5 1.07 200 2.20 10,000 2.96
10 1.36 500 2.40 20,000 3.07
20 1.59 1000 2.54 50,000 3.22
50 1.86 2000 2.67 100,000 3.33
100 2.04 5000 2.84

Here b/σb indicates the ratio of a least squares point estimate b to its standard error σb that results in a Bayes factor of 1. This critical ratio increases with n
