Martin Dion Benes commented on Sean Owen's blog post An Introduction to Bayesian Reasoning"Great post Sean!
I don't know where in the post where the approach taken by a frequentist and a Bayesian became clearer to me but wherever it was, thank you. I am looking forward to your next post on this topic."
An Introduction to Bayesian Reasoning
An Introduction to Bayesian ReasoningYou might be using Bayesian techniques in your data science without knowing it! And if you're not, then it could enhance the power of your analysis. This blog post, part 1 of 2, will demonstrate how Bayesians employ probability distributions to add information when fitting models, and reason about uncertainty of the model's fit.Grab a coin. How fair is the coin? What is the probability p that it will land 'heads' when flipped? You flip the coin 5 times and…See More
"I remember long ago when working on my PhD, I was using what was called "penalized likelihood" functions. This was just Bayesian stats in disguise, the "penalty" playing the role of a prior in Bayesian theory."
