I can attest that the frequentist view is still very much the mainstream here too and fills almost every college curriculum across the United States. You may get one or two Bayesian classes if you're a stats major, but generally it's hypothesis testing, point estimates, etc.
Regardless, the idea that frequentist stats requires a stronger background in mathematics is just flat out silly though, not even sure what you mean by that.
- blt 2y agoI also thought it was silly, but maybe they mean that frequentist methods still have analytical solutions in some settings where Bayesian methods must resort to Monte Carlo methods?
- kgwgk 2y agoNote that Bayesian methods also have analytical solutions in some settings. There is a reason why conjugate priors were a thing.
