I've read a book on it a long time ago, but it never seemed all that useful to me. I never have an informative prior. Because I usually have no clue what I'm looking at. Then I think this is a bunch of work for not much gain.

Yes - Do you have a question on Bayesian stats?

You do with it the same things that you do with frequentist statistics. I understand that most university stats departments are already Bayesian.

The reason that many don't use it is because it (almost always) requires coding skills - there's no Excel formula.

Yea…,

Yep. Using it right now for a heavy ML project

Do companies sometimes offer "gifts of appreciation" if you're not selected for a merit increase? My manager randomly called me to let me know I was chosen for the "gift" this year bc of my "hard work & dedication", except now I'm learning other colleagues are receiving actual merits.
I mean it's possible that I may receive a merit, but I feel like I won't considering my manager never brought it up & the dept update made it sound like those receiving it should know by now.

I have a partner who routinely ignores emails or responds to them several weeks later. He has to approve every single document sent to the client or the court, which means you have a physically go to his office to ask him to review something. Half of the time you go to meet with him in person, he’s either on a call or otherwise busy. I find that this basically creates more work and makes meeting deadlines extremely difficult. Is this normal?
