  There are two main opposing schools of statistical reasoning, Frequentist and
Bayesian approaches. Until recent days, the frequentist or classical approach
has dominated the scientific research, but Bayesianism has reappeared with a
strong impulse that is starting to change the situation. Recently the
controversy about the primacy of one of the two approaches seems to be
unfinished at a philosophical level, but scientific practices are giving an
increasingly important position to the Bayesian approach. This paper eludes
philosophical debate to focus on the pragmatic point of view of scientists'
day-to-day practices, in which Bayesian methodology is very useful. Several
facts and operational values are described as the core-set for understanding
the change.
