Amazon Digital Services LLC, 2016. — 56 p.
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 huge 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 introduction to statistics classes, however the problem is that it is not taught 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 a number of visual examples to build that understanding. Additionally every example in this book has been solved using Excel, and the Bayesian Excel file is available for free download to allow you to easily work the examples along with the book.
