Abstract
We propose this technical briefing on "Bayesian Data Analysis for Software Engineering" (BDA-SE) for ICSE 2021. Given the broad and growing interest for statistical data analysis throughout the software en-gineering community, the top software engineering conference is a natural venue for this technical briefing. The breadth of the topic fits the time allotted for general topics, which would allow us to discuss: limitations of the current most common statistical techniques in software engineering; principles underlying Bayesian data analysis; brief overview of the Bayesian statistical framework; key guidelines to apply Bayesian data analysis in practice; practical examples of Bayesian (re-)analysis of software engineering empirical data. Bayesian statistics is not a silver bullet that will fix all the issues with empirical data analysis (in software engineering); but it can be an important step in the direction of helping empirical software engineering build solid foundations and achieve robust results.
