As a teacher of research methodology in (music) education I am
interested in the relation between traditional statistics and the
bayesian approach. Bayesians claim that their approach is superior
compared with the traditional, for instance because it does not assume
normal distributions, is intuitively understandable, works with small
samples, predicts better in the long run etc.
If this is so, why is it so rare in educational research? Are there some
hidden flaws in the approach or are the researchers just ignorant?
Comments?
