Rethinking Likelihood

I recently finished reading Statistical Rethinking by Richard McElreath. The reviews are true, it’s a great book. As a bonus, it comes with 20 hours of supporting lectures taking you through the content. Statistical Rethinking is an introduction to statistical modelling using Bayesian methods. Bayesian methods seem pretty popular at the moment, so whats the deal? To distill it into a couple of lines, Bayesian methods provide a distribution for model parameters and allow for incorporation of prior knowledge.
