Review of 'Statistical Rethinking' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
If you read through this text you will get a great course in Bayesian statistics with lots of R code, many interesting asides, comparisons to frequentist methods and philosophical comments. I think I understand the Bayesian approach much better than I had before. In my limited experience, using this approach is still a lot of work, gives a near identical answer (since I've avoided p values for years anyway), and the principle advantage is that when the researcher/client tells you what they think your confidence intervals mean, they are right.
