V1: I thought inference was just a fairy tale, /
Confused by stats and probability, /
Frequentist approaches (doo-doot doo-doot) /
made no sense to me (doo-doot doo-doot) /
Summarizing evidence by p?!
Chorus: Then I saw Tom Bayes — Now I’m a believer, /
Without a trace of doubt in my mind, /
[I’m a] Bayesian (ooooh) — Oh, I’m a believer — /
I couldn’t p now if I tried!
V2: I thought likelihood was just the only thing, /
Turn the crank and get the MLE, /
What’s the use of thinking (doo-doot doo-doot) /
Disconnect your brain (doo-doot doo-doot) /
Play along and minimize the pain...
Chorus:(repeat)
Solo:(keys/guitar)
V3: SAS was out to get me (doo-doot doo-doot) /
that’s the way it seemed (doo-doot doo-doot) /
Fixed effects and forced normality…
