| | | | | So far on this blog, we have looked the mathematics behind distributions, most notably binomial, Poisson, and Gamma, with a little bit of exponential. These distributions are interesting in and of themselves, but their true beauty shines through when we analyze them under the light of Bayesian inference. In today's post, we first develop an intuition for conditional probabilities to derive Bayes' theorem. From there, we motivate the method of Bayesian inference as a means of understanding probability. | |
