Albert 1 TEACHING INTRODUCTORY STATISTICS FROM A BAYESIAN PERSPECTIVE

چکیده
This paper reviews the past and current interest in using Bayesian thinking to introduce statistical inference. Rationale for using a Bayesian approach is described and particular methods are described that make it easier to understand Bayes' rule. Several older and modern introductory statistics books are reviewed that use a Bayesian perspective. It is argued that a Bayesian perspective is very helpful in teaching a course in statistical literacy.
