This chapter discusses Bayesianism in statistics. The first section of the chapter is devoted to the First Bayesian Theory, which is immediately followed by a discussion of significance tests and the Second Bayesian Theory. Lindley's Paradox and the Neyman-Pearson Theory are examined in detail, along with the concept of priors and likelihood. The final portion of the chapter focuses on the Second Bayesian theory as logic.

Keywords:   Bayesianism, statistics, First Bayesian Theory, significance tests, Second Bayesian Theory, Lindley's Paradox, Neyman-Pearson Theory, priors, likelihood
