Bayesian Statistics

Utbildningsfakta

Kod: 1MS900

In contrast to the usual frequentist methods, where the parameters are assumed to be fixed, the Bayesian methods assume that the parameters can be described as random variables. This allows one to begin one's analysis by having so-called priori distributions for the parameters, which can then be updated to so-called a posteriori distributions after taking into account the observational data. Finally, these a posteriori distributions can be used to draw conclusions in the statistical analysis.
