Probability and Bayes Theorem for Beginners (Secret of Data)

Probabilities surround us as we lead our everyday lives. We employ them, almost unconsciously, whenever we make decisions as to what would be the best course of action. Of course, we don’t need to understand probabilities or how they function in order to make these decisions, but a good understanding thereof, which I hope this book has provided, might come to influence your thinking in ways you had not imagined before. An understanding of Bayes’ theorem, which has been one of the main focus points of this book, in particular can represent a significant step forward in making decisions or estimating the likelihood of certain events using all the prior knowledge at your disposal.
