As an avid enthusiast of Bayesian statistics, I’m often reminded of the Oxford comma — both are beloved by a passionate few who are willing to embrace their eccentricity, even if it means being seen as a mild outcast in respectable society. In this article series, I hope to share my love of Bayesian statistics and show you how this approach can expand your understanding of statistics, data science, and even the world at large. (And yes, I might have included that last point just to sneak in an Oxford comma.)
