Philosophical or empirical incommensurability of frequentist versus Bayesian thinking

نویسندگان

چکیده

Frequentists and Bayesians disagree about the soundness of performing calculations based, in an important part, on prior information. The disagreement goes back to a basic philosophical how conceptualize meaning probability. As frequentists use term differently, there is incommensurability. However, this incommensurability need not imply empirical It possible for be, simultaneously, commensurability. This possibility implies consequences that article discusses

Bayesian Versus Frequentist Inference

1 Goals and Outline Throughout this book, the topic of order-restricted inference is dealt with almost exclusively from a Bayesian perspective. Some readers may wonder why the other main school for statistical inference – frequentist inference – has received so little attention here. Isn't it true that in the field of psychology, almost all inference is frequentist inference? The first goal of ...

Philosophical Aspects of Incommensurability and Incomparability

Ex ante decision analysis has other problems than ex post analysis. One of the problems is the nature of the value system of the deciding person. Mostly, it will contain different values (criteria, points of view) which are not reducible to one measure. These cases of incommensurability are one reason for the incomparability of the decision options. There are other reasons why it seems highly u...

Preprint of the Book Chapter : “ Bayesian Versus Frequentist Inference ” Eric

The first goal of this chapter is to highlight why frequentist inference is a less-thanideal method for statistical inference. The most fundamental limitation of standard frequentist inference is that it does not condition on the observed data. The resulting paradoxes have sparked a philosophical debate that statistical practitioners have conveniently ignored. What cannot be so easily ignored a...

A Selection Bias Conflict and Frequentist Versus Bayesian Viewpoints

In many branches of modern science, researchers first study or mine large data sets, and then select the parameters they estimate and the data they use and publish. Such data-based selection complicates formal statistical inference. An example discussed here for the purpose of illustration, is that of pharmaceutical companies that typically conduct many experiments but may publish only selected...

Bayesian and frequentist approaches

Though the Bayesian vs. frequentist debate is largely muted in the statistics community, it continues among those applying advanced statistical methods in the physical sciences. The debate often misses some salient features on both sides, relying on simplistic arguments based on some single aspect of the methodology such as p-values or priors. The discussion here argues that each approach has s...
