I will ask a possibly naive question but...can anyone recommend a good "doing empirical science the Bayesian way" or "Bayesian quantitative methods" type of book? I'm mostly looking for something that can "replace those p-values for undergrads". Use of R, Python (or PSPP/SPSS if need be) would be appreciated.
My knowledge is pretty limited, I have heard of BEST but happily t-test away on a daily basis. Essentially what I'm looking for is a "I know t-tests and ANOVA and use them regularly...how would I switch all that to a Bayesian approach".
Does the book I look for even exist or would my best bet be reading the BEST paper (and the author's website/youtube video)?
Edit: It lookes like the second edition of "Doing Bayesian Data Analysis" by Kruschke looks good. It does have a dedicated chapter on NHT (vs. MCMC)
