While I agree, the most important benefits of bayesian methods - in my opinion - are forcing people to consider (1) uncertainty and (2) effect sizes. These two things alone are a fundamental difference and a major step forward.
- rwilson4 4y agoAt the risk of a no-true-Scotsman argument, I want to point out the difference between Frequentism as practiced by statisticians and non-statisticians. Non-statisticians will simply say that a result was stat sig, without specifying even the corresponding p-value, let alone an effect size point estimate or confidence interval. I always report confidence intervals front and center, and bring in point estimates and p values as supporting characters. And of course discussing to what extent the study design supports causal conclusions.
