Frequentists and bayes (3)

I was revisiting the first articles on this topic and it was not really clear to me what I meant. Thus this entry is sort of a mental note for me.

As I understand it researchers who prefer frequentists methodologies do not speculate on events which researchers choosing Bayes’ mathematics will state have “probabilities.”

So before a soccer match is played frequentists can say things like: “based on the previous data, if we assume previous data can say something about future events, we expect team a to win the match.”

Researchers using Bayes on the other hand might say things like: “based on the previous data we expect the score to become ‘3-1’ (yielding team a as matchwinner).”

Frequentists should not be able to predict “net results” or “expected goals” I think.
