I think that's what make the bayesian faction of statistics so appealing. Updating their prior belief based on new evidence is at the core of the scinetific method. Take that frequentists.
- Chinjut 7mo agoIt does not seem fair to say that frequentists do not update their beliefs based on new evidence. This does not seem to accurately capture what the difference between Bayesians and frequentists (or anyone else) is.
- atomicnature 7mo agoWhat's the difference as you see it?
- kqr 7mo agoEveryone updates their belief in hypotheses based on the perceived strength of evidence they observe. That's just science. Frequentists and Bayesians differ in which sets of statistical tools they prefer for measuring the strength of evidence.
- kubanczyk 7mo ago> Everyone updates their belief Uh oh. How does frequentist model define "belief" and "updating a belief"?
- medi8r 7mo agoAre frequentists a group that self identifies? Don't scientist use the best tool for the job.
