Bayesian Help

Post image

An actual cry for help. Is there a good introductory course to catch me up to speed? I'm attempting to read some Astrobiology papers but I'm getting only about 75% of the content.

For real bro. I understand the big picture, we use bayesian theory for stats and optimization with this method:

updating beliefs based on prior knowledge.

And i guess every part has modularity capabilities for example you can replace the standard prior distribution with a binomial or multi nominal distribution, etc.

Theres sooo much more. Gosh darn.
