Kruschke's popular textbook, Doing Bayesian Data Analysis, [2] was notable for its accessibility and unique scaffolding of concepts. The first half of the book used the simplest type of data (i.e., dichotomous values) for presenting all the fundamental concepts of Bayesian analysis, including generalized Bayesian power analysis and sample-size planning.
Exploratory analysis of Bayesian models is an adaptation or extension of the exploratory data analysis approach to the needs and peculiarities of Bayesian modeling. In the words of Persi Diaconis: [16] Exploratory data analysis seeks to reveal structure, or simple descriptions in data. We look at numbers or graphs and try to find patterns.
For example, Bayesian parameter estimation can provide rich information about the data from which researchers can draw inferences, while using uncertain priors that exert only minimal influence on the results when enough data is available. Psychologist John K. Kruschke has suggested Bayesian estimation as an alternative for the t-test [86] and ...
In Bayesian statistics, a hyperparameter is a parameter of a prior distribution; the term is used to distinguish them from parameters of the model for the underlying system under analysis. For example, if one is using a beta distribution to model the distribution of the parameter p of a Bernoulli distribution , then:
A woman was arrested on Tuesday after Memphis police found a Aquaphor lotion bottle that connected her to a theft that occurred in December 2023.
The bald eagle, a symbol of the power and strength of the United States for more than 240 years, earned an overdue honor on Tuesday: It officially became the country’s national bird.
The glitz, the glamour, the elegance: It’s safe to say that Hollywood red carpet fashion is back, thanks to the jaw-dropping looks spotted at the 2025 Golden Globes.
Bayesian inference (/ ˈ b eɪ z i ə n / BAY-zee-ən or / ˈ b eɪ ʒ ən / BAY-zhən) [1] is a method of statistical inference in which Bayes' theorem is used to calculate a probability of a hypothesis, given prior evidence, and update it as more information becomes available.
