Why use Bayesian Data Analysis?

This chapter will show you four reasons why Bayesian data analysis is a useful tool to have in your data science tool belt.

Four good things with Bayes

Explore using the Beta distribution as a prior

Pick the prior that best captures the information

Change the model to use an informative prior

Contrasts and comparisons

Fit the model using another dataset

Calculating the posterior difference

Decision analysis

A small decision analysis 1

A small decision analysis 2

Change anything and everything

The Poisson distribution

Clicks per day instead of clicks per ad

Bayes is optimal, kind of...

Probability rules

Cards and the sum rule

Cards and the product rule

Calculating likelihoods

From rbinom to dbinom

Calculating probabilities with dbinom

Bayesian calculation

Calculating a joint distribution

Conditioning on the data (again)

A conditional shortcut

Bayes' theorem

More parameters, more data, and more Bayes

Learn about using the Normal distribution to analyze continuous data and try out a tool for practical Bayesian analysis in R.

The temperature in a Normal lake

rnorm, dnorm, and the weight of newborns

A Bayesian model of water temperature

A Bayesian model of Zombie IQ

Eyeballing the mean IQ of zombies?

Answering the question: Should I have a beach party?
