Evidence and prior knowledge

Prior probability and likelihood function

Frequentist principles and uncertainties

Prior probability and Bayesian network

To calculate the probability of prior knowledge

To update the prior probability based on new evidence

To eliminate uncertainties completely

To determine the absolute probability of an event

P(B|A) = (P(A|B) * P(B)) / P(A)

P(A|B) = (P(B|A) * P(A)) / P(B)

P(A|B) = (P(B) * P(A)) / P(B|A)

P(B|A) = (P(A) * P(B)) / P(A|B)

Determining the likelihood of observed data given a fixed model.

Estimating the parameters of a model based on observed data.

Updating prior beliefs about parameters using observed data.

Calculating the p-value of a hypothesis test using Bayes' theorem.

It guarantees precise calculations.

It is immune to biases and subjective opinions.

It completely eliminates uncertainties.

It allows the incorporation of prior knowledge.

Sampling from probability distributions that are difficult to sample from directly.

Calculating the prior distribution in Bayesian inference.

Estimating the parameters of a likelihood function.

Testing the robustness of a model to changes in input parameters.

A method for determining the optimal decisions under uncertainty.

A technique for estimating the parameters of a posterior distribution.

A framework for calculating the posterior probability of a hypothesis.

A way to assess the fit of a model to the observed data.

A prior distribution that is updated to a posterior distribution using Bayes' theorem.

A distribution used to represent uncertain knowledge about the parameter of interest before observing the data.

A distribution that remains in the same family as the posterior distribution after updating.

A prior distribution that is independent of the likelihood function.
