Last year I wrote a series of posts comparing frequentist and Bayesian approaches to various problems: In Frequentism and Bayesianism I: a Practical Introduction I gave an introduction to the main philosophical differences between frequentism and Bayesianism, and showed that for many common…
My recent series of posts on Frequentism and Bayesianism have drawn a lot of comments, but recently Frederick J. Ross, a UW colleague whom I have not yet had the pleasure of meeting, penned a particularly strong-worded critique: Bayesian vs frequentist: squabbling among the ignorant.
I've been spending a lot of time recently writing about frequentism and Bayesianism. In Frequentism and Bayesianism I: a Practical Introduction I gave an introduction to the main philosophical differences between frequentism and Bayesianism, and showed that for many common problems the two methods…
In Douglas Adams' classic Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, hyper-intelligent pan-dimensional beings build a computer named Deep Thought in order to calculate "the Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything".
In a previous post I gave a brief practical introduction to frequentism and Bayesianism as they relate to the analysis of scientific data. In it, I discussed the fundamental philosophical difference between frequentism and Bayesianism, and showed several simple problems where the two approaches…
One of the first things a scientist hears about statistics is that there is are two different approaches: frequentism and Bayesianism. Despite their importance, many scientific researchers never have opportunity to learn the distinctions between them and the different practical approaches that…
