The Fundamentals of Probability
Probability theory is the grammar of Bayesian reasoning. It describes how we encode uncertainty mathematically and how we combine different pieces of uncertain information coherently. In the early chapters of *Bayesian Reasoning and Machine Learning*, I emphasize the rules of probability as the laws...

Bayesian Inference: Updating Beliefs
At the center of Bayesian reasoning lies the simple yet powerful idea of updating beliefs. The triad of prior, likelihood, and posterior organizes our thinking. The prior expresses what we believe before seeing data; the likelihood, how evidence relates to parameters; the posterior, our revised beli...
