alt Hacker NewsI think Rafael Irizarry put it best over a decade ago -- while historically there was a feud between self-declared "frequentists" and "Bayesians", people doing statistics in the modern era aren't interested in playing sides, but use a combination of techniques originating in both camps: https://simplystatistics.org/posts/2014-10-13-as-an-applied-...
I agree... I feel like "The Elements of Statistical Learning" was possibly one of the first "postmodern" things where "well, frequentist and Bayesian are just tools in the toolbox, we now know they're not so incompatible."
After Stein's paradox it became super hard to be a pure frequentist if you didn't have your head in the sand.
