This is interesting. I'm glad for a different perspective. I chalk this up to differences across fields, because my experience is so different. My advisor learned Bayesian statistics from Arnold Zellner a few decades ago, and his synopsis of the class was: "It was great in theory, but we could't implement it." Once computers made if more possible, it seems to have spread rather quickly, possibly because computing power was the last piece of a mostly complete puzzle.
It's almost to the point that reviewers prefer the Bayesian approach, in my neck of the academic woods.
- Fomite 10y agoThis is pretty much my experience as well - accessible Bayesian methods (and now accessible causal inference models) were a major portion in those methods being adopted.
