Interestingly both Walmart and Target opened in 1962. There were other stores by then, so I guess there was no need.

It’s not my description of frequentist statistics. It’s the frequentist statisticians’ description. This is from Wasserman’s All of Statistics: The statistical methods that we have discussed so far are known as frequentist (or classical) me

I have no interest in laundering the misinterpretation of p-values. I don’t know whose time is saved, frequentists don’t care about the Bayesian interpretation anyway and Bayesians don’t need to restrict themselves to a particular prior. Th

It’s mathematically identical but conceptually different. The things that go into the calculation are different, the numbers that get out of the calculation mean different things. Laughing is healthy though.

What does “as generally interpreted” mean? There is one valid way to interpret confidence intervals. The point is that it’s not based on a posterior probability and there is no prior probability there either.

One standard way to get uninformative priors is to make them invariant under the transformation groups which are relevant given the symmetries in the problem.

It’s not true that “there are always priors”. There are no priors when you calculate the area of a triangle, because priors are not a thing in geometry. Priors are not a thing in frequentist inference either. You may do a Bayesian calculati

If you want to say that when you do a frequentist analysis which doesn’t include any concept of prior you get a result that has a similar form to the result of a completely different conceptually Bayesian analysis which uses a flat prior (d

> Are there really any pure frequentists post Stein's paradox? What does that have to do with anything? If one cares about that using a shrinkage estimator is an option which maintains the frequentist purity.

Not true. In frequentist statistics, from the perspective of Bayesians and non-Bayesians alike, there are no priors. —- Dear ChatGPT, are there priors in frequentist statistics? (Please answer with a single sentence.) No — unlike Bayesian s

If they were doing frequentist inference they wouldn’t be using priors at all and there is nothing frequentist in using previous data to construct prior distributions.

That’s not what it means though. It’s done through a partnership. Or not, if we count Business Development Companies as “private credit” - but then they are not usually private corporations either.

Firm is used for partnerships, where the company is not a legal entity itself. An incorporated company may be closely held but it wouldn’t be a firm in that sense. (However, it may be customary to talk about law or accouting firms, for exam
