Advances in Bayesian Modeling in Educational Research
Levy, Roy
Educational Psychologist, v51 n3-4 p368-380 2016
In this article, I provide a conceptually oriented overview of Bayesian approaches to statistical inference and contrast them with frequentist approaches that currently dominate conventional practice in educational research. The features and advantages of Bayesian approaches are illustrated with examples spanning several statistical modeling traditions and contexts in educational research.
