Bayes' Theorem

Explore Bayes Theorem and understand how it computes posterior probabilities from prior evidence. Learn to apply this foundation in building probabilistic binary classifiers and see practical examples including conditional probability calculations for classification tasks.

We'll cover the following...

Bayes’ Theorem describes a way of finding a conditional probability when we know certain other probabilities. The following equation mathematically denotes Bayes’ Theorem:

P(HypothesisEvidence)=P(Hypothesis)P(EvidenceHypothesis)P(Evidence)P(Hypothesis|Evidence)=P(Hypothesis)\cdot\frac{P(Evidence|Hypothesis)}{P(Evidence)}

Bayes’ Theorem says we can calculate the posterior probability from a prior probability and some evidence-related modifier.

The posterior denotes what we believe about the HypothesisHypothesis ...
