- Incorporate their prior beliefs into an analysis alongside evidence presented by the collected data.
- Use the results of Bayesian analysis to answer their research question (through prediction, estimation hypothesis testing and credible intervals).
- Have appreciation for the computational complexity of fitting some Bayesian models
