Unfortunately, the standard curriculum in psychology often doesn't include Bayesian approaches to statistics, only frequentist ones. So I've always struggled to understand it conceptually.
I think part of my struggle comes from the hype around it being overly ambitious and taking it's inferences out of context (I think). You'll hear people say it's a way to update your beliefs, but since regular statistics isn't about beliefs it already feels like a separate thing all together.
Point is I'm trying to understand Bayesian statistics. So I'm curious what everyone's experience with it has been. What textbooks or resources you recommend. And any theoretical issues or debates you guys have with it.
