Bayesian descriptive statistics/Evidence
Method evidence record

Bayesian descriptive statistics

Bayesian descriptive statistics summarizes data by combining observed information with prior knowledge through Bayes' theorem, yielding posterior distributions over parameters such as the mean and variance. Instead of point estimates and p-values, results are expressed as posterior means, medians, and credible intervals that carry a direct probability interpretation.
