The Bayesian New Statistics: Hypothesis testing, estimation, meta-analysis, and power analysis from a Bayesian perspective
In the practice of data analysis, there is a conceptual distinction between hypothesis testing,
on the one hand, and estimation with quantified uncertainty on the other. Among frequentists …
