Study Notes
Bayesian Inference Basics
- The initial prior distribution over θ is denoted as P(θ).
- The probability of observing evidence E given hypothesis H is denoted as P(E|H).
- The term used for the probability of a hypothesis given the observed evidence is posterior probability.
- The likelihood P(E|H) is the same for all possible hypotheses being considered.
- The posterior probability of a hypothesis is proportional to the product of the prior probability and likelihood.
Bayesian Inference Concepts
- Bayesian inference is a method of statistical inference that uses Bayes' theorem to update the probability for a hypothesis as more evidence becomes available.
- The posterior probability represents the updated probability of a hypothesis given the observed evidence.
- The prior probability represents the probability of a hypothesis before observing the evidence.
