Abstract

Bayesian methods provide a probabilistic approach to machine learning. The Bayesian framework allows us to make inferences from data using probability models for values we observe and about which we want to draw some hypotheses. Bayes theorem provides the means of calculating the probability of a hypothesis (posterior probability) based on its prior probability, the probability of the observations and the likelihood that the observational data fit the hypothesis.
