Overview

Bayesian methods are a powerful approach in data science for making predictions and decisions based on data. They use Bayes' theorem to update the probability of a hypothesis as more evidence becomes available. This introduction will help you understand the basics of Bayesian thinking, how it differs from traditional statistics, and its applications in real-world problems.
