Does frequentist/bayesian matters to anything but quasi-religious beliefs?
I mean, that's maths, either approach has to give the same results, as they come from the same theory. The Bayes theorem is just a theorem, use it explicitly or not, the numbers will be the same because the axioms are the same.
- uniqueuid 2y agoNo, they are linked to beliefs (like anything else), but the canonical forms do differ a lot. Most importantly: - bayesian methods give you posterior distributions rather than point estimates and SEs - bayesian methods natively offer prior and posterior predictive checks - with bayesian methods, it's evidently easier to combine knowledge from multiple sources, which null-hypothesis testing struggles with (best way is probably still meta-analyses)
