The post discusses Bayesian epistemology, highlighting its practical applications and philosophical foundations. Users recommend JASP, a free tool for Bayesian modeling that facilitates side-by-side analysis with frequentist methods. It emphasizes the historical context and contributions of key figures in Bayesian thinking, while also noting the distinction between Bayesianism in philosophy versus statistics. Further reading is suggested, including Sharon McGrayne's biography about Bayes' rule and Jonathan Weisberg's material on Bayesianism.
