The Bayesian approach gives statisticians some freedom to reflect prior belief.

The Bayesian approach is computationally more tractable.

An estimator that takes the maximum of the posterior distribution obtained via Bayes rule is strictly closer to the actual parameter than the maximum likelihood estimator.

Answer 1
