(Research note)
Modeling approach
We use Stan 2.34.1 (Stan Development Team 2023) through R 4.4.0 (R Core Team 2023) and {brms} 2.21.0 (Bürkner 2017) to estimate our models. We generate 4 MCMC chains for each model with 2,000 iterations in each chain, 1,000 of which are used for warmup. All chains converge; we assess convergence with visual inspection.
Complete results from all the models, along with posterior predictive checks, goodness-of-fit measures, and prediction diagnostics are all available at a companion statistical analysis compendium at https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/7GVDA.
Priors
We follow the suggestion of Gelman et al. (2008) and use weakly informative priors for our logistic and ordered logistic regression models. For consistency with prior specification, and for computation efficiency, we mean-center all nonbinary variables so that parameter estimates represent changes from the mean. We use two general priors (see Figure 1):
- For all \(\beta\) terms, we use a Student t distribution with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 3. This keeps most parameter estimates around −5 to 5, with thicker tails that allow for some possibility of extreme values.
- For \(\sigma\) terms related to the variance or standard deviation of parameter distributions, which must be positive, we use a half Cauchy distribution, centered at 0 with a \(\gamma\) of 1
These priors give more weight to realistic areas of parameter values and downweight values in unrealistic spaces. For instance, since logit-scale coefficient values greater than 4 or 5 are highly unlikely, our Student t prior puts more weight on smaller values. Additionally, weakly informative priors allow reasonable and considerable uncertainty in possible parameter estimates.
