BFpack 1.6.2 (2026-10-28)

• Fixed a bug in cor_test() when covariates are included via formula. The posterior draws of the regression coefficients used an incorrectly ordered covariance matrix. This affected the posterior of the correlations and the resulting Bayes factors, and made results depend on the order of the covariates and the dependent variables. The effect is largest when covariates are correlated and strongly related to the dependent variables.
• Fixed an error in cor_test() when a covariate column precedes a dependent variable in the data.
