Bayesian inferencerefers to the updating of prior beliefs into posterior beliefs conditional on observed data. The \output" of a Bayesian approach is the joint posterior p( jy).
Statistical approaches to parameter estimation and hypothesis testing which use prior distributions over parameters are known as Bayesian methods. The following notes brie y summarize some important facts.
