Wikipedia
Bayesian

Bayesian refers to methods in probability and statistics named after Thomas Bayes (c. 1702–61), in particular methods related to statistical inference:

  • Bayesian probability or degree-of-belief interpretation of probability, as opposed to frequency or proportion or propensity interpretations
  • Bayes' theorem on conditional probability
  • Bayesian inference

These methods include:

  • Bayes estimator
  • Bayes factor
  • Bayesian average
  • Bayesian spam filtering
  • Bayesian game
  • Bayesian information criterion
  • Bayesian multivariate linear regression
    • Bayesian linear regression, a special case
  • Bayesian network
  • Empirical Bayes method
  • Naive Bayes classifier
  • Bayesian econometrics
  • Bayesian experimental design
  • Bayesian inference in phylogeny
  • Bayesian search theory
  • Bayesian vector autoregression

Bayesian also refers to the application of this probability theory to the functioning of the brain:

  • Bayesian approaches to brain function

Bayesian methods have been also applied to the interpretation of quantum mechanics:

  • Quantum Bayesianism

So the Bayesian calculation always comes down against the truth of the testimony, and in favour of the uniformity of nature.

We soon see how this piece of reasoning too can be analysed in a Bayesian way.

For interest, it is worth mentioning that there are quite orthodox methods of statistical inference that try to bypass Bayesian ideas.

For example, if it’s an autoimmune reaction—according to your file you’ve got a heuristic upgrade to your complement system, and sometimes the Bayesian recognizers start firing off at the wrong targets—you could end up with anterograde amnesia, a complete inability to lay down any new mnemostructures.
