Think Bayes - Allen Downey Kartoniert (TB)

If you know how to program you're ready to tackle Bayesian statistics. With this book you'll learn how to solve statistical problems with Python code instead of mathematical formulas using discrete probability distributions rather than continuous mathematics. Once you get the math out of the way the Bayesian fundamentals will become clearer and you'll begin to apply these techniques to real-world problems. Bayesian statistical methods are becoming more common and more important but there aren't many resources available to help beginners. Based on undergraduate classes taught by author All en B. Downey this book's computational approach helps you get a solid start. Use your programming skills to learn and understand Bayesian statistics Work with problems involving estimation prediction decision analysis evidence and Bayesian hypothesis testing Get started with simple examples using coins dice and a bowl of cookies Learn computational methods for solving real-world problems
