Does anyone know anything about Bayesian statistics in academic political science? To put it mildly, political science has quite a number of open questions, and last I checked all of the statistical analysis in the field was frequentist. Political scientists spend a good chunk of their time sniping each other for getting the super-advanced frequentist statistics wrong. Maybe there's some room for basic Bayesian statistics to do some useful work?
The sniping is called "training".
