Then you have landed in the right place. If you want to well understand Bayes theorem as well as apply its principles, you must first master the concept of probability. Probability is the likelihood that something will happen, describing such things as the chances of you drawing a specific card, say an ace, from a deck of playing cards. There are a simple ways to calculate such probabilities using the information you have in front of you, however Bayesian probability takes this one step further by incorporating previously known information to inform these calculations. Probability and Bayes theorem is present everywhere in many of the different things that we carry out throughout the day, such as Googling the internet, applying spam filters, machine learning, and so much more. This book aims to help build a foundation for the understanding of Bayes' theorem using a step-by-step method that introduces the various elements of probability before approaching the theorem itself. Understanding these sometimes rather complex concepts is made very easy with the use of several examples and everyday applications of probability. You will find that being in possession of a solid understanding of the ideas related to and applications of both probability and Bayes theorem in particular will assist you in comprehending and indeed engaging with some of the ways that these concepts are used today, including practical examples like "We want to go for a picnic but it is cloudy. Is it likely to rain?" or "What are the chances that someone has an allergy?" or even "In a zombie apocalypse, how likely is my test kit to determine whether someone is really infected?." This book will help you explore exactly what Probability and Bayes Theorem are and will introduce the reader the concepts, applications and practical case studies. By the time you are done reading this book, you will have a complete understanding as to how to measure probability and how Bayes Theorem works. Following are the important points discussed in this book: What is a Probability?

Download or read book The Theory That Would Not Die written by Sharon Bertsch McGrayne and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2011-05-17 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This account of how a once reviled theory, Baye’s rule, came to underpin modern life is both approachable and engrossing" (Sunday Times). A New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice Bayes' rule appears to be a straightforward, one-line theorem: by updating our initial beliefs with objective new information, we get a new and improved belief. To its adherents, it is an elegant statement about learning from experience. To its opponents, it is subjectivity run amok. In the first-ever account of Bayes' rule for general readers, Sharon Bertsch McGrayne explores this controversial theorem and the generations-long human drama surrounding it. McGrayne traces the rule’s discovery by an 18th century amateur mathematician through its development by French scientist Pierre Simon Laplace. She reveals why respected statisticians rendered it professionally taboo for 150 years—while practitioners relied on it to solve crises involving great uncertainty and scanty information, such as Alan Turing's work breaking Germany's Enigma code during World War II. McGrayne also explains how the advent of computer technology in the 1980s proved to be a game-changer. Today, Bayes' rule is used everywhere from DNA de-coding to Homeland Security. Drawing on primary source material and interviews with statisticians and other scientists, The Theory That Would Not Die is the riveting account of how a seemingly simple theorem ignited one of the greatest controversies of all time.

Download or read book Bayes Theorem written by Andy Hayes and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-01-11 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bayes theorem - A Quick-start Beginner's Guide Applications of the theorem are widespread and not limited to the financial realm. As an example, Bayes' theorem can be used to determine the accuracy of medical test results by taking into consideration how likely any given person is to have a disease and the general accuracy of the test. Bayes' theorem gives the probability of an event based on information that is or may be related to that event. The formula can be used to see how the probability of an event occurring is affected by new information, supposing the new information is true. For example, say a single card is drawn from a complete deck of 52 cards. The probability the card is a king is four divided by 52, or approximately 7.69%, since there are four kings in the deck. Now, suppose it is revealed the selected card is a face card. The probability the selected card is a king, given it is a face card, is four divided by 12, or approximately 33.3%, since there are 12 face cards in a deck.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a discussion about the Bayes' Theorem. The first part of the book helps you understand what Bayes' Theorem is and the areas in which it can be applied. The derivation of Bayes' Theorem is also discussed, so you will know the various steps it takes for you to derive Bayes' Theorem. Some basic examples are then given to help you understand how you can solve them by use of Bayes' Theorem. These examples have been picked from a wide range of areas, and they are all based on the concept of conditional probability. This is a situation in which you are given the evidence and you are expected to calculate or determine the probability of a certain event occurring, or in other words, if an event A has occurred, what is the probability that event B will occur. The application of Bayes' Theorem in drug and medical tests is then discussed in detail. You will learn how to determine the probability of individuals being users of a certain drug or non-users of that drug. You will also learn how to determine the probability of individuals having certain conditions. The book also discusses the application of Bayes' Theorem when you are rolling dice. You will learn how to apply this Theorem to determine the probability of getting Heads and Tails. The book also helps you in determining if a coin toss is fair or not based on the outcome after it has occurred. Here is a preview of what you'll learn: - What is Bayes Theorem? - Basic Examples - Drug and Medical Tests - Dice and Rolls - Is the Coin Fair?

Book excerpt: Bayes Theorem is a way of refreshing probability as you get new information. Mostly, you make an initial guess and then understand more data to improve it. Bayes Theorem, or Bayes Rule, has a numerous of real-world applicability, from estimating the risk of a heart attack to making recommendations on NetflixBut It Isn't That ComplicatedThis book is a short prelude to Bayes Theorem. It is only 15 pages long and is intended to show you how Bayes Theorem works as promptly as possible. The examples are deliberately kept simple to focus solely on Bayes Theorem without requiring that the reader know complicated probability distributions.If you want to learn Bayes Theorem as quickly as possible, with some easy to duplicate examples, this is a good book for you.From spam filters to Netflix recommendations, to drug testing, Bayes Theorem (also known as Bayes Theory, Bayes Rule or Bayes Formula) is used through a considerable number of industries. The reason it is so useful is it provides a systematic way to update estimated probability as new data is found out.Bayesian data analysis is taught in many introductions to statistics classes. However, the problem is that it is not shown in a very intuitive way. This book, instead of focusing on the probability theory, focuses on building a deep understanding of how Bayesian statistics work. This book contains several visual examples to develop that understanding. Additionally, every instance in this book has been solved using Excel, and the Bayesian Excel file is available for free download to allow you to work the examples along with the book quickly.This book uses a building block approach to help the reader understand how Bayes Theorem works in real life, in addition to the probability theory. The topics covered areBayes Theorem Basic Example - A first example to show how Bayesian data analysis works when you have a single new piece of data to update initial probabilitiesUpdating Probabilities With Multiple Pieces Of New Data - What if instead of a single piece of data you have a lot of new measurements to update your probabilitiesBayes Theorem Terminology - The formal names for the different parts of the Bayes theorem equation, and how does relate to a more everyday understandingAre You A Winning Tennis Player? - Use the results from tennis matches to determine what your likely long term win rate isDealing With Errors In Your Data - In real life, you are unlikely to have the pure error-free data that you see in most examples. But if you want to use Bayesian data analysis to solve real-life problems, you need to account for the fact that some measurements will be wrong, or the data will be entered incorrectly, or there will be other errors. This section explains how to deal with those errors and still get accurate probability estimates.Historical Successes of Bayes Theorem - One of the most notable successes of Bayesian data analysis is the German Tank Problem. This was the problem of estimating how many tanks and other pieces of high-value equipment the enemy force had, using only a few pieces of captured equipment. Bayesian statistics solved this problem better than espionage, and this example shows how it was doneClassic Uses Of Bayes Theorem Today - A current famous application of Bayesian statistics is the drug testing problem. This problem asks how likely a person who got a positive result, for instance on a drug test or a test for the disease, is to have that disease or be a user of the drug, vs. having a false positive on the testIf you are a person that learns by example, this booklet might be a good fit for you. It is a critical topic in a wide range of industries - so dive in to get an intuitive understanding!

Book excerpt: Bayes’ Theorem is hard. Is it, though? If you flick through any of the other books on Bayesian statistics you’ll get the distinct impression that you’ll have a lot of really hard maths to do, and it can be really intimidating. But is that what Bayesian stats is really all about? If you’re wondering whether you should have a look at Bayesian statistics to see if it’s right for you, then Bayes’ Theorem and Bayesian Statistics in the Getting Started With Statistics series is your first port of call. If what you need is a short guide to getting started, a snappy little non-threatening introduction to Bayes’ Theorem and Bayesian Statistics that dispels the biggest myths, answers the most frequently asked questions and inspires you to take the next steps in your journey, then look no further. Bayes’ Theorem and Bayesian Statistics is that guide. This book is not written for statisticians. Nor is it written by a statistician. A Physicist by trade, and a self-taught statistician, I may have worked (and taught) as a statistician for several years but I have my own struggles with statistics, so I understand where the hard bits are. Better still, I know how to explain them to others in plain English without using difficult to understand technical terminology. That’s what you can expect in this book. First, I’ll explain what Bayes’ Theorem is in simple terms. Then you’ll move on to understanding what conditional probability is and why you don’t need it if you want to find a parking spot, but you do if you’re playing cards (and you want to win). You’ll learn about Prior and Posterior probabilities, and use them to work out if you need to take a brolly to the beach with you (spoiler alert – I live in Scotland. I always need to take a brolly to the beach!). Then I’ll bust a few myths about what Bayesian statistics is – and what it isn’t. By this point you’ll have made up your mind about whether you want to go further, so I’ll show you how to take your next steps. Bayes’ Theorem and Bayesian Statistics makes no assumptions about your previous experience and is perfect for beginners and the Bayes-curious!
