"A blessing can take any form. The most important thing is to find them and collect them rather than count them. And the really, really important thing is try to savor the blessings, and that one perfectly timed blessing, to help carry us through life’s difficulties."

Can you even do (and should you do) hypothesis testing in the Bayesian framework?I guess if you wanted to name this episode in a very Marvelian way, it would be “Bayes factors against the p-values of madness” — but we won’t do that, it wouldn’t be appropriate, would it?Anyways, in this episode, I’ll talk about all these very light and consensu...
