Statistics and probability are becoming increasingly relevant in a wide range of occupations. However, many people utilize data in ways they don't even comprehend, which means they're not getting the most out of it. This will be changed by Bayesian Statistics the Fun Way.
Through clear explanations and engaging examples, this book will provide you with a thorough understanding of Bayesian statistics. To name a few, learn the likelihood of UFOs landing in your garden, how probable Han Solo is to survive a flight through an asteroid shower, how to win a conspiracy theory debate, and if a burglary was truly a burglary.
The author genuinely makes statistics entertaining to learn by employing these off-the-beaten-path examples. You'll also acquire practical skills such as how to:
- Determine your own level of uncertainty in a conclusion or belief
- Apply the Bayes theorem and understand its applications
- Determine the posterior, likelihood, and prior to ensure the accuracy of your findings
- Determine the range of your data by calculating distributions.
- Compare hypotheses and draw reliable conclusions from them.
When you have a pile of survey results and no idea what to do with them, turn to Bayesian Statistics the Fun Way to get the most out of your data.
