The title seems to assume that Bayesian statisticians do not know Monte Carlo methods. But in fact, Monte Carlo methods are part of Bayesian statistics. They are in any decent Bayesian stats textbooks.

- conjectures 6y agoYes. To give people from other disciplines a flavour: - Why Engineering needs PDE solvers. - Why Computer Science needs compilers. - Why Geography needs digital maps.
- bonoboTP 6y ago"Needs" may not imply "currently does not use enough". "Why the human body needs water" could be a popsci article.
- ummonk 6y agoIt kind of does though? I.e. I’d expect that article to be about why you need to keep adding water to the human body (by drinking water), whereas an article about “why the human body is mostly water” would explain why it is composed of water rather than why it needs more water.
- nabla9 6y agoGood title tells something about the article, usually in very compressed way.
- ummonk 6y ago"Uses" or "includes" instead of "needs" would be a more effective way to convey the needed information
