Bayesian Analysis
Bayesian statistics is a subset of the field of statistics in which the evidence about the true state of the world is expressed in terms of degrees of belief - Bayesian probabilities. The concept reviews the origins and application of this statistical approach.
Technique Overview
Bayesian Analysis Definition
The goal of Bayesian analysis is “to translate subjective forecasts into mathematical probability curves in situations where there are no normal statistical probabilities because alternatives are unknown or have not been tried before” (Armstrong, 2003:633). Bayesian analysis aims to update probabilities in the light of new evidence via Bayes' theorem (Jackman, 2009).
