bayesian statistics lecture notes

The Bayesian approach implies assigning a prior distribution on parameter θ and then applying the Bayes' rule. Note that θ is often not really random. Inference ...

Bayesian machine learning treats learning as an probabilistic inference problem. • Bayesian methods work well when the models are flexible enough to capture.
