Rev. Thomas Bayes Monday, December 5, 11
Rev. Thomas Bayes Simon Laplace Monday, December 5, 11
Conclusions in terms of probability statements p( |y) unknowns observations

Why Bayes? ? Monday, December 5, 11
“... the Bayesian approach is attractive because it is useful.
Its usefulness derives in large measure from its simplicity. Its simplicity allows the investigation of far more complex models than can be handled by the tools in the classical toolbox.” Link and Barker (2010) Monday, December 5, 11
