I teach at a math-science magnet program for high school students.
All of our juniors and seniors conduct research projects of their own
design. The majority of these projects are biological, but some of
them are chemical, environmental, or engineering projects, and a few
are physics projects. Most of these projects have limited
replication sample sizes (3 ≤ N ≤ 10) due to time constraints.
Currently, we use frequentist statistics to analyze data. I'm
interested in learning more about Bayesian statistics to see if it
would make sense for our students to use Bayesian analysis on their
data. I'm looking for recommendations for a good book, or possibly
other material, that would help me better understand Bayesian
statistics, including a comparison between the virtues of using
Bayesian and frequentist statistics to analyze data. If we decide
that Bayesian analysis would be useful, we'd be interested in finding
materials to help our students understand Bayesian analysis, but
that's not my main focus right now. All of our juniors and seniors
study calculus: either AP Calculus AB followed by AP Calculus BC or
AP Calculus BC followed by multivariable calculus.
