There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity. |

- 15:47, 7 March 2025 diff hist +2,338 Draft:Bayesian statistics Felt the precognition example ended too abruptly, plus saw some value in cherry-picking an ideal pro-precognition hypothesis. Started writing the next example, which should be much shorter! current

- 08:40, 1 March 2025 diff hist +5,179 Draft:Bayesian statistics Finished off the precognition example.
- 05:28, 27 February 2025 diff hist +3,569 Draft:Bayesian statistics Almost done with the precognition example. The main points are all in place, though I suspect RationalWiki readers will want to see the analysis from more than one experiment.

- 07:35, 26 February 2025 diff hist +1,797 Draft:Bayesian statistics More progress on the precognition example, plus some clarifying edits to the Prior section.
- 16:56, 25 February 2025 diff hist +1,641 Draft:Bayesian statistics Advanced the precognition example, fixing an earlier error as well. Debating how to show how the math is derived, without making an already-long page even longer.
- 07:20, 24 February 2025 diff hist +2,865 Draft:Bayesian statistics Started work on the precognition example.
- 06:07, 21 February 2025 diff hist +2,563 Draft:Bayesian statistics After much debate, added a paragraph on conjugate priors. Not sure it's required, but I plan on using them for at least one example. Also filled in the section on marginalization, and made sure not to accidentally use the wrong capitalization in a heading.
- 05:50, 19 February 2025 diff hist +5,871 Draft:Bayesian statistics Think I have a solid write-up for the section on priors.
- 05:09, 18 February 2025 diff hist +9 m Draft:Bayesian statistics Forgot to insert a critical word ("observed evidence" vs. "evidence") when first mentioning priors.

- 08:04, 17 February 2025 diff hist +5,458 Draft:Bayesian statistics Minor tweaks to the intro paragraph, finished the quantized belief section, spun out "Relativism" from "Hypotheses."
