When is Bayesian introductory statistics better?

Read Original

This article analyzes when Bayesian statistics might be preferable to frequentist methods in introductory statistics courses. It discusses areas of agreement, computational considerations, and key pedagogical differences, such as avoiding p-values and rank tests. It also addresses disadvantages, including reliance on simple parametric models and the challenge of explaining the importance of random sampling.
