Frequentist comparisons are given by 2-tailed independent t-test results. Bayes factors from a default prior Bayesian t-test are expressed in terms of the Bayes factor in favour of the null hypothesis of no difference (BF01). The delta effect size is given by the median of the a posterior distribution and 95% credible intervals
