This article was published in Scientific American’s former blog network and reflects the views of the author, not necessarily those of Scientific American I’m not sure when I first heard of Bayes’ ...

Lower bounds on Bayes factors in favor of the null hypothesis in multinomial tests of point null hypotheses are developed. These are then applied to derive lower bounds on Bayes factors in both exact ...

Unobserved heterogeneity in random utility choice models can be dealt with by specifying either a multinomial or a normal distribution of the coefficients, leading to finite mixture logit and mixed ...

Bayes' theorem, also called Bayes' rule or Bayesian theorem, is a mathematical formula used to determine the conditional probability of events. The theorem uses the power of statistics and probability ...

Our eyes, gestures, and tone bring us together in a more profound way than words alone. It’s why we look hopefully toward the return of in-person, face-to-face connection. In science, progress is ...

General naive Bayes classification is a classical machine learning technique to predict a discrete value. There are several variations of naive Bayes (NB) including Categorical NB, Bernoulli NB, ...
