The use of Bayesian statistics in meat quality analyses: a review
1Departamento de Ciencia Animal, Universidad Politécnica de Valencia, P.O. Box 22012, 46071 Valencia, Spain.
Abstract:
A Bayesian approach to meat quality analyses is discussed and compared with the classical statistical approach. Inferences from means, medians and modes of marginal posterior distributions are presented, and a variety of probability inferences and confidence intervals are presented and discussed. Classical and Bayesian theories of hypothesis testing are compared and their advantages and disadvantages are discussed. Fundamentals of Bayesian inference and Monte-Carlo Markov Chain (MCMC) techniques are presented and discussed. The great flexibility for inferences introduced by MCMC techniques is stressed. Practical examples of meat quality analyses are given, with references to available free software to analyze a large variety of models.

Statistical Inference Techniques in Hypothesis Testing: Parametric Versus Nonparametric Data
Parametric statistics, as the name suggests, assumes that data follow a specific distribution, often a normal distribution. This assumption enables robust hypothesis testing and estimation. Parametric methods, like the Student's t-test or Goodness-of-fit test, are frequently employed in biostatistics due to their robustness. For instance,...
