This is an old one but i think there still may be interest in the topic. In this post, I explain how to think about stopping rules in Bayesian inference and why, from a Bayesian standpoint, it’s not cheating to run an experiment until you get statistical significance and then stop.

If the topic interests you, I recommend you read the main post (including the P.S.) and also the comments.

The post Stopping rules and Bayesian analysis appeared first on Statistical Modeling, Causal Inference, and Social Science.
