Note—The parameter γ′ is the weight placed on effect size; 1 – γ′ is the weight placed on replicability. The bars mark values of d below which this criterion is more stringent than a traditional significance test of size α = .05. The BIC column indicates the effect size necessary to justify the addition of an additional parameter (d > 0) by the Bayes information criterion.
