As the author of the guide in question, I feel I should speak up here. Neither frequentist or Bayesian statistics is "just right". It is 100% dependent on the user and whether they use/interpret the quantities correctly. There are both really good and horrible Frequentist and Bayesian statisticians. To imply one or the other is "better" is incorrect and disingenuous. Just my 2 cents.
- loup-vaillant 13y agoOops. It seems I got carried away. > There are both really good and horrible Frequentist and Bayesian statisticians. Yeah. If I had to choose between Fisher and Anonymous Bayesian, I may chose Fisher. However, unless both kind of statistics yield the same results (I don't think they do), then at least one of them is bogus, by application of the non-contradiction principle. So, while I can imagine there are good Frequentists Statisticians out there, I insist that frequentism itself is bogus.
