We study Gamow-Teller and unique forbidden β decays within an effective theory. In this approach nuclei are described as spherical cores coupled to a neutron and/or proton, depending on the nuclei of interest. We calculate matrix elements for β decays into low-lying states of the daughter nucleus, explore their applications and investigate the associated theoretical uncertainty based on a power counting and Bayesian methods. Our effective theory results are found to be in good agreement with experiment within theoretical uncertainties.
