“I tried to live a good life, a pure life, a Bayesian life.
But sometimes, sometimes the formulations were too subtle for me.
Forgive me, Father, for I have calculated confidence intervals from
order statistics.”
— the statistician’s deathbed confession
clue:
Strict Bayesian statisticians are very particular about what
constitutes good practice.
