Improving the stability of bivariate correlations using informative Bayesian priors: a Monte Carlo simulation study

This repository contains all code used for the study Improving the stability of bivariate correlations using informative Bayesian priors: a Monte Carlo simulation study.

Roughly in the order they are used, you can find:

• R code for JSON data generation in singularity/generate_data.R
• Stan code for the Bayesian models in the singularity/build_dir/models/ directory
• C++ code for the frequentist model in singularity/build_dir/src/corr.cpp (note the compilation instructions)
• The definition file used to create the Singularity container in singularity/build_dir/bayesian_correlations.def
• Bash scripts that run the simulations (through Singularity, so these are not accessed directly) in the singularity/build_dir/src/ directory
• The Singularity container at https://zenodo.org/record/7857972
• The raw simulation output at https://zenodo.org/record/7994203
• R code relevant for processing the raw simulation output, creating tables and figures and so on in the manuscript/src/ directory
• R session information in manuscript/output/session_info.txt
