Table 3 Happiness model group-level parameter comparisons: On versus Off medication. Participants’ ‘happiness’ with their decision outcomes were modeled as the dependent variables using Eq. 1. Parameter weight estimates for each group (ICD and non-ICD) and medication state (on and off) were determined using hierarchichal bayesian modeling (Table 2). Cohen’s d effect sizes and highest density intervals (95% HDI) for comparisons across non-ICD-on versus non-ICD-off (3a) or ICD-on versus ICD-off (3b) with corresponding credible differences are reported.
