Hello every one. My name is Mayada. Iam internists currently studying Phd in clinical tropical medicine.Previously my Knowledge about medical statistics was quite scanty but I have been used medical statistics extensively during my master degree in which I learned so much about type of data, data analysis & interpretaion, inferential Statistics, so many tests and Statistical programs specifically Spss. Now I am excited to learn others new concepts like R programming and other issues hopefully it help me in my Current. Research.
Like most of you, I am more familiar With Frequentist than Bayesian and from what I understood Bayesian methods determine only the probability of an event based on the prior no matter the design was Applied. Frequentist methods can makes predictions using only data from current experiment while in Bayesian past Knowledge of similar experiment combined with Current experiment data to make conclusions.In my opinion Bayesian is more complicated and if I have to answer the question: does it matter which we use? I will say it depends on the data set.
I would like to discuss your opinions about the question {does it matter which we use?}.
