Bayesian inference provides a robust framework for combining prior knowledge with new evidence to update beliefs about uncertain quantities. In the context of statistical inverse problems, this ...
Recently Fox has suggested and evaluated several non-Bayesian rules for the problem of the two-armed bandit. In this paper several Bayesian rules for this problem are compared with the best of Fox's ...
The Annals of Statistics, Vol. 5, No. 1 (Jan., 1977), pp. 172-181 (10 pages) In the empirical Bayes approach to multiple decision problems, we obtain theorems and lemmas which can be used to obtain ...

Bayes' theorem, also called Bayes' rule or Bayesian theorem, is a mathematical formula used to determine the conditional probability of events. The theorem uses the power of statistics and probability ...
In science, progress is possible. In fact, if one believes in Bayes' theorem, scientific progress is inevitable as predictions are made and as beliefs are tested and refined. ~ Nate Silver If the ...
This article was published in Scientific American’s former blog network and reflects the views of the author, not necessarily those of Scientific American I’m not sure when I first heard of Bayes’ ...
‘Splaining real math is always tricky because it is almost always counterintuitive. So, short of quantum physics and multi-dimensional tensor calculus what math topic is remarkably tricky to ...
