Bayesian Methods (Bayesian Inference, Naïve Bays)

Catalog description

This course focuses on the Bayesian approach to probability and statistics and applies it to tools and methods used in data science. This course starts with a brief review of the tenets of probability that form the foundation for Bayes Theorem. Next, it discusses Bayes Theorem in-depth. Then, it considers the Bayesian approach to inference, examines the Naïve Bayes model, and develops Bayesian regression. (Prerequisite: MATH328)
