Understanding the Differences Between Bayesian and Frequentist ...
In a nutshell, the way I have understood it, given a specific set of data, the frequentist believes that there is a true, underlying distribution from which said data was generated. The inability to get the exact parameters is a function of finite sample size. The Bayesian, on the other hand, think that we start with some assumption about the param... See more

What is Bayesian Machine Learning?
At its heart, Bayesian Machine Learning is a statistical framework rooted in Bayes’ Theorem , a mathematical principle that describes how to update the probability of a hypothesis as new evidence becomes available.
In machine learning, this translates to modeling not just a single “best” set of parameters but a dis... See more

Bayesian Machine Learning
Fisher and his contemporaries had no problem with the formula called Bayes’s theorem per se, which is just a simple mathematical identity. Instead, they were worried about how it might be applied. In particular, they took issue with the notion of the Bayesian prior.46 It all seemed too subjective: we have to stipulate, in advance, how likely we thi

in the policeman’s syllogism (1.5), whether the plausibility for A increases by a large amount, raising it almost to certainty; or only a negligibly small amount, making the data B almost irrelevant? The object of the present work is to develop the mathematical theory which answers such questions, in the greatest depth and generality now possible.
