Counterpoint: Last time I fitted a Bayesian model, I had 1 processor with some interpreted code and left it for ten minutes. YMMV.

- bluekeybox 16y agoAbsolutely. Not all applications of Bayesian analysis are computationally-intensive. In some cases (an example: finding of single-nucleotide polymorphisms in next-gen sequencing data), Bayesian analysis comes down to multiplying prior probability of a SNP (for humans, 0.001 per genome position) by a few other numbers from the data itself to obtain posterior probability, which can be done in a linear time in a few minutes on tens of gigabytes of NGS data. And the best part is, no Bonferroni adjustment bullshit!
- hessenwolf 16y agoHey, don't forget the Benjamini-Hochberg replacement for Bonferroni. The situation is not 'that' bad.
