I’m not actually in any statistician circles (although I did work at a statistical startup that used Kalman Filters in Reykjavík 10 years ago; and I did dropout from learning statistics in University of Iceland).
But what I gathered after moving to Seattle is that Bayesian statistics are a lot more trendy (accepted even) here west of the ocean. Frequentists is very much the default, especially in hypothesis testing, so you are not wrong. However I’m seeing a lot more Bayesian advocacy over here than I did back in Iceland. So I’m not sure my parent is wrong either, that Americans tend to dislike frequentist methods, at least more than Europeans do.
