Description

I would like to share the comparison of three groups of students that I taught Bayesian methods this year:

  • mixed group (psychology, biology...) with good background in R and frequentist statistics;
  • linguistic group (3d year) with medium background in R and frequentist statistics;
  • further education group in Computer Linguistic with beginner R and no statistical background.

I expected first and second groups to be more successful than the third one, but the shocking result was that the third and the first groups were more successful than the second one. I will try to explain the obtained result.
