Résumé	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.	The Bayesian independent samples t-test quantifies evidence for or against a mean difference between two independent groups using a Bayes factor rather than a p-value. Rooted in Jeffreys's probability framework and popularized by Rouder et al. (2009), it places a Cauchy prior on the standardized effect size and returns continuous evidence for both the null and alternative hypotheses.
