Bayesian statistics provides researchers the information they need when deciding about statistical hypothesis (Cohen, 1994) so introducing it in educational programs will be helpful for scientific progress.

Influence of Institution-Based Factors on Preoperative Blood Testing Prior to Low-Risk Surgery: A Bayesian Generalized Linear Mixed Approach

The purpose of this paper is two-fold: (1) a large amount of historical fatigue data of several types of welded exhaust components belonging to several diverse programs are collected and statistically analyzed; the similarities and differences in the data patterns, the standard deviation of the cycles to failure in particular, of the different groups of the data are examined, and (2) with the statistical information obtained from the historical data and a previously developed Bayesian statistics approach, examples in design limit/curve construction are provided to demonstrate the values of the historical data in product validation.

Several alternatives to p-values have been proposed, [8,9] including confidence intervals and Bayesian statistics. A confidence interval provides two-dimensional information, the point estimate (signal) and the width of the confidence interval (noise), thus it can potentially be more informative than a p-value and should always be reported.
