Thomas Bayes English theologian and mathematician Thomas Bayes has greatly contributed to the field of probability and statistics. His ideas have created much controversy and debate among statisticians over the years. Thomas Bayes was born in 1702 in London, England. There appears to be no exact records of his birth date. Bayes's father was one of the first six Nonconformist ministers to be ordained in England. (4) Bayes's parents had their son privately educated. There is no information about the tutors Bayes worked with. However, there has been speculation that he was taught by de Moivre, who was doing private tuition in London during this time. Bayes went on to be ordained, like his father, a Nonconformist minister. He first assisted his father in Holborn, England. In the late 1720's, Bayes took the position of minister at the Presbyterian Chapel in Tunbridge Wells, which is 35 miles southeast of London. Bayes continued his work as a minister up until 1752. He retired at this time, but continued to live in Tunbridge Wells until his death on April 17, 1761. His tomb is located in Bunhill Fields Cemetery in London. Throughout his life, Bayes was also very interested in he field of mathematics, more specifically, the area of probability and statistics. Byes is believed to be the first to use probability inductively. He also established a mathematical basis for probability inference. Probability inference is the means of calculating, from the frequency with which an event has occurred in prior trials, the probability that this event will occur in the future. (5) According to this Bayesian view, all quantities are one of two kinds: known and unknown to the person making he inference. (6) Known quantities are obviously defined by their known values. Unknown quantities are described by a joint probability distribution. Bayesian inference is seen not as a branch of statistics, but instead as a new way of looking at the complete view of statistics.

According to Bayes, evidence confirms the likelihood that a proposition is true only to the degree to which the appearance of this evidence is more probable when accompanied by the proposition than not. For example, the appearance of smoke confirms the proposition "There is a fire" very strongly because the appearance of smoke with fire is much more probable than the appearance of smoke without fire. On the other hand, the appearance of an eye in nature does not confirm the proposition "God exists" because the appearance of an eye

His most important paper was published by someone else. And he's been dead for 241 years. Yet the 18th-century clergyman's theories on probability have become a major part of the mathematical foundations of application development. Search giant Google and Autonomy , a company that sells information retrieval tools, both employ Bayesian principles to provide likely (but technically never exact) results to data searches. Researchers are also using Bayesian models to determine correlations between specific symptoms and diseases, create personal robots, and develop artificially intelligent devices that "think" by doing what data and experience tell them to do. Despite the esoteric symbols, the idearoughly speakingis simple: The likelihood that something will happen can be plausibly estimated by how often it occurred in the past. Researchers are applying the idea to everything from gene studies to filtering e-mail.

An Intuitive Explanation of Bayesian Reasoning Bayes' Theorem for the curious and bewildered; an excruciatingly gentle introduction. By Eliezer Yudkowsky Your friends and colleagues are talking about something called "Bayes' Theorem" or "Bayes' Rule", or something called Bayesian reasoning. They sound really enthusiastic about it, too, so you google and find a webpage about Bayes' Theorem and... It's this equation. That's all. Just one equation. The page you found gives a definition of it, but it doesn't say what it is, or why it's useful, or why your friends would be interested in it. It looks like this random statistics thing. So you came here. Maybe you don't understand what the equation says. Maybe you understand it in theory, but every time you try to apply it in practice you get mixed up trying to remember the difference between and , and whether belongs in the numerator or the denominator. Maybe you see the theorem, and you understand the theorem, and you can use the theorem, but you can't understand why your friends and/or research colleagues seem to think it's the secret of the universe. Maybe your friends are all wearing Bayes' Theorem T-shirts, and you're feeling left out. Maybe you're a girl looking for a boyfriend, but the boy you're interested in refuses to date anyone who "isn't Bayesian". What matters is that Bayes is cool, and if you don't know Bayes, you aren't cool. Why does a mathematical concept generate this strange enthusiasm in its students? What is the so-called Bayesian Revolution now sweeping through the sciences, which claims to subsume even the experimental method itself as a special case? What is the secret that the adherents of Bayes know? What is the light that they have seen?

50. Bayes, Reverend Thomas bayes, Reverend thomas bayes set down his findings on probability in EssayTowards Solving a Problem in the Doctrine of Chances (1763), http://www.cartage.org.lb/en/themes/Biographies/MainBiographies/B/Bayes/1.html

Bayes, Reverend Thomas b. , 1702, London, Eng. d. April 17, 1761, Tunbridge Wells, Kent. English theologian and mathematician who was the first to use probability inductively and who established a mathematical basis for probability inference (a means of calculating, from the frequency with which an event has occurred in prior trials, the probability that it will occur in future trials). Bayes set down his findings on probability in "Essay Towards Solving a Problem in the Doctrine of Chances" (1763), published posthumously. That work became the basis of a statistical technique, now called Bayesian estimation, for calculating the probability of the validity of a proposition on the basis of a prior estimate of its probability and new relevant evidence. Disadvantages of the methodpointed out by later statisticiansinclude the different ways of assigning prior distributions of parameters and the possible sensitivity of conclusions to the choice of distributions. The only works Bayes is known to have published in his lifetime are Divine Benevolence, or an Attempt to Prove That the Principal End of the Divine Providence and Government Is the Happiness of His Creatures (1731) and An Introduction to the Doctrine of Fluxions, and a Defence of the Mathematicians Against the Objections of the Author of The Analyst (1736), which countered the attacks by Bishop George Berkeley on the logical foundations of

You stare at the three massive blank discs of grey suddenly hovering in front of you, and the glowing pink numbers 1, 2, and 3 above them. No-one told you about THIS. But having been interested in mathematics at v-school, you know that there is a one in three chance of choosing the right portal. Steeling yourself, you confidently say: "I choose portal number 1." The quizmaster smiles, a little nastily in your opinion. "Before I reveal where Portal 1 leads, let me show you something," he says. With a flourish he waves at Portal 3, and the iris opens to reveal an orbiting view of a horrible brown planet. Everything is a shade of brown: the lands, the sea, the clouds, the cities. "Ploppycack 7," he announces to the disgusted crowd, some of whom are being noisily sick into floating bags. "This means that either Portal 1 or Portal 2 leads to a life of parties and sunbathing. You have chosen Portal 1. I ask you: do you wish to stick with your choice, or do you want to change to Portal 2?"

Thomas Bayes For a good overview of Thomas Bayes see the Wikipedia article on Bayes His main paper is " An essay towards solving a Problem in the Doctrine of Chances ". He is celebrated, not because he invented what is now known as Bayes rule (which was probably invented in its current generality by Pierre-Simon Laplace ), but because he had the idea of using probability to give the distribution over a parameter. This is the trick that makes Bayesian Statistics work. Owner: "216.232.25.158" Last edited on Friday, December 10, 2004 2:09:56 pm by "216.232.25.158"

Reverend Thomas Bayes The Reverend Thomas Bayes (1702-1761) was an English vicar and mathematician. In his Essay Towards Solving a Problem in the Doctrine of Chances he was the first person to formally define a method of inferring the probability of an event occurring based upon the frequency with which that event has occurred in the past. This Essay was published posthumously in 1763 by his friend Richard Price. His work laid the foundation of modern Bayesian statistics which attempts to calculate the probability of an event from a consideration of the prior probability of that event occurring together with a consideration of any relevant evidence. These are the very techniques that XMaster uses over two hundred years later. Thomas Bayes is buried in a family tomb at Bunhill Fields in the City of London which is on the west side of City Road south of the junction with Old Street and which happens, quite by chance, to be just a few minutes walk from the offices of The Royal Statistical Society in Errol Street. His friend Richard Price is also buried there. Home
