• Bayesian inferenceBayesian inference is statistical inference in which probabilities are interpreted not as frequencies or proportions or the like, but rather as degrees of belief. The name comes from the frequent use of the Bayes' theorem in this discipline. Bayes' theore
• Bayesian model comparisonThe posterior probability of a model given data, P(H|D), is given by Bayes' theorem: :P(H|D) P(D|H)P(H)/P(D) The key data-dependent term P(D|H) is a likelihood, and is sometimes called the evidence for model H; evaluating it correctly is the key to Bayesi
• Beta distributionIn probability theory and statistics, the beta distribution is a continuous probability distribution with the probability density function defined on the interval [0, 1]: : where a and b are parameters that must be greater than zero. When the "constant" i
• Bhattacharya coefficientThe Bhattacharya coefficient is an approximate measurement of the amount of overlap between two statistical samples. The coefficient can be used to determine the relative closeness of the two samples being considered. Calculating the Bhattacharya coeffici
• Bias (statistics)In statistics, a biased estimator is one that for some reason on average over- or underestimates what is being estimated. The word bias has at least two different senses in statistics, one referring to something considered very bad, the other referring to
• Biased sampleIn statistics, the word bias has divergent meanings. Some forms of statistical bias are very bad; others can have good effects in some cases; see bias (statistics). A biased sample is one that is falsely taken to be typical of a population from which it i
• Bienaymé-Chebyshev inequalityThis article is not about Chebyshev's sum inequality. Chebyshev's inequality (or Tchebysheff's inequality , named in honor of Pafnuty Chebyshev, is a result in probability theory that gives a lower bound for the probability that a value of a random variab
