@kdnuggets our critique was not that Silver used too much Bayes but that he oversold its relative utility. Both approaches have their uses..1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@GaryMarcus I have read Silver's book and his big emphasis was not just on Bayesian theory, but on making models simple and reliable1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

@kdnuggets as we said, we agree w most, took exception only to overselling of Bayes. but intro, second half (esp ch 8) do oversell Bayes.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@GaryMarcus see your point, but outside observers don't care about Bayesian/frequentist debate, as long as predictions are correct1 reply 0 retweets 1 like
@kdnuggets of course not. But reread the parts where Silver introduces Bayes ("think differently") & dismisses Fisher.
