  2. Posterior predictive distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posterior_predictive...

    In Bayesian statistics, the posterior predictive distribution is the distribution of possible unobserved values conditional on the observed values. [1] [2]Given a set of N i.i.d. observations = {, …,}, a new value ~ will be drawn from a distribution that depends on a parameter , where is the parameter space.

  3. Posterior probability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posterior_probability

    In the context of Bayesian statistics, the posterior probability distribution usually describes the epistemic uncertainty about statistical parameters conditional on a collection of observed data. From a given posterior distribution, various point and interval estimates can be derived, such as the maximum a posteriori (MAP) or the highest ...

  4. Bayesian statistics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayesian_statistics

    The inference process generates a posterior distribution, which has a central role in Bayesian statistics, together with other distributions like the posterior predictive distribution and the prior predictive distribution. The correct visualization, analysis, and interpretation of these distributions is key to properly answer the questions that ...

  5. Approximate Bayesian computation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Approximate_Bayesian...

    Step 5: The posterior distribution is approximated with the accepted parameter points. The posterior distribution should have a non-negligible probability for parameter values in a region around the true value of in the system if the data are sufficiently informative. In this example, the posterior probability mass is evenly split between the ...

  6. Predictive probability of success - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predictive_probability_of...

    Posterior distribution is the summary of uncertainties about the parameter. Predictive distribution has not only the uncertainty about parameter but also the uncertainty about estimating parameter using data. Posterior distribution and predictive distribution have same mean, but former has smaller variance.

  7. Bayesian inference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayesian_inference

    Bayesian theory calls for the use of the posterior predictive distribution to do predictive inference, i.e., to predict the distribution of a new, unobserved data point. That is, instead of a fixed point as a prediction, a distribution over possible points is returned. Only this way is the entire posterior distribution of the parameter(s) used.

  8. Bayesian linear regression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayesian_linear_regression

    Bayesian linear regression is a type of conditional modeling in which the mean of one variable is described by a linear combination of other variables, with the goal of obtaining the posterior probability of the regression coefficients (as well as other parameters describing the distribution of the regressand) and ultimately allowing the out-of-sample prediction of the regressand (often ...

  9. Bayesian hierarchical modeling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayesian_hierarchical_modeling

    Bayesian hierarchical modelling is a statistical model written in multiple levels (hierarchical form) that estimates the parameters of the posterior distribution using the Bayesian method. [1]
