This reproducible R Markdown analysis was created with workflowr (version 1.6.0). The Checks tab describes the reproducibility checks that were applied when the results were created. The Past versions tab lists the development history.


Great! Since the R Markdown file has been committed to the Git repository, you know the exact version of the code that produced these results.

Great job! The global environment was empty. Objects defined in the global environment can affect the analysis in your R Markdown file in unknown ways. For reproduciblity it’s best to always run the code in an empty environment.

The command set.seed(20191017) was run prior to running the code in the R Markdown file. Setting a seed ensures that any results that rely on randomness, e.g. subsampling or permutations, are reproducible.

Great job! Recording the operating system, R version, and package versions is critical for reproducibility.

Nice! There were no cached chunks for this analysis, so you can be confident that you successfully produced the results during this run.

Great job! Using relative paths to the files within your workflowr project makes it easier to run your code on other machines.

Great! You are using Git for version control. Tracking code development and connecting the code version to the results is critical for reproducibility. The version displayed above was the version of the Git repository at the time these results were generated.

Note that you need to be careful to ensure that all relevant files for the analysis have been committed to Git prior to generating the results (you can use wflow_publish or wflow_git_commit). workflowr only checks the R Markdown file, but you know if there are other scripts or data files that it depends on. Below is the status of the Git repository when the results were generated:

Multinomial model of outcome

Run the models

Fit a multinomial logisitic model, with 3 possible outcomes describing what happened to each bee introduced to the hive: stayed inside, left of its own volition, or forced out by the other workers. To assess the effects of our predictor variables, we compare 5 models with different fixed factors, ranking them by posterior model probability.

Posterior model probabilites

Model post_prob
hive + observation_time_minutes 0.530
treatment + hive + observation_time_minutes 0.466
treatment * hive + observation_time_minutes 0.003

Fixed effects from the top model

The code chunk below wrangles the raw output of the summary() functions for brms models into a more readable table of results, and also adds ‘Bayesian p-values’ (i.e. the posterior probability that the true effect size has the same sign as the reported effect).

Table S3: Table summarising the posterior estimates of each fixed effect in the best-fitting model of Experiment 2. This was a multinomial model with three possible outcomes (stay inside, leave voluntarily, be forced out), and so there are two parameter estimates for the intercept and for each predictor in the model. ‘Treatment’ is a fixed factor with two levels, and the effect of LPS shown here is expressed relative to the ‘Ringers’ treatment. ‘Hive’ was a fixed factor with four levels; unlike for treatment, we modelled hive using deviation coding, such that the intercept term represents the mean across all hives (in the Ringers treatment), and the three hive terms represent the deviation from this mean for three of the four hives. Lastly, observation duration was a continuous variable expressed to the nearest minute. The \(p\) column gives the posterior probability that the true effect size is opposite in sign to what is reported in the Estimate column, similarly to a \(p\)-value.

The dashed lines mark \(LOR = 0\), indicating no effect, and \(LOR = \pm log(2)\), i.e. the point at which the odds are twice as high in one treatment as the other.

Hypothesis testing and effect sizes

This section calculates the posterior difference in treatment group means, in order to perform some null hypothesis testing, calculate effect size, and calculate the 95% credible intervals on the effect size. In all cases, the effect size expresses the effect of the “LPS-treated bee CHCs” treatment relative to the “Ringer-treated bee CHCs” control.

Table S4: This table gives statistics associated with each of the contrasts plotted in Figure 2B. Each pair of rows gives the absolute and standardised effect size (as log odds ratio; LOR) for the LPS treatment, relative to the Ringers treatment, for one of the three possible outcomes (stayed inside, left voluntarily, or forced out). A LOR of \(|log(x)|\) indicates that the outcome is \(x\) times more frequent in one treatment compared to the other, e.g. \(log(2) = 0.69\) indicates a two-fold difference in frequency. The \(p\) column gives the posterior probability that the true effect size has the same sign as is shown in the Estimate column; this metric has a similar interpretation to a one-tailed \(p\) value in frequentist statistics.

Evaluating evidence for the null hypothesis

Here, we derive the result present in prose in the Results, that the true effect size
