The Ghost of Statistics Past
Computing with frequentist statistics just means making a bunch of simplifying assumptions, setting some things constant to make computation tractable. The author correctly hints at that in the middle of the article, but then glosses past it.<p>Frequentist vs Bayeisan <i>interpretation</i> is like different interpretations of quantum mechanics. It has no impact on the calculations.<p>Novice self-labelled &quot;Bayesians&quot; overlook the reality that, as wikipedia explains:<p>&gt; where appropriate, Bayesian inference (meaning in this case an application of Bayes&#x27; theorem) is used by those employing a frequentist interpretation of probabilities.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Frequentist_inference" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Frequentist_inference</a>
