bayes theorem

Bayes’ Theorem is a fundamental concept in probability and statistics that allows us to update our beliefs based on new evidence. It provides a mathematical framework for calculating conditional probabilities, which are the probabilities of an event occurring given that another event has already occurred.

The theorem is expressed mathematically as follows:

[ P(A | B) = \frac{P(B | A) \cdot P(A)}{P(B)} ]

In this formula, ( P(A | B) ) is the probability of event A occurring given that event B has occurred, ( P(B | A) ) is the probability of event B occurring given that event A has occurred, ( P(A) ) is the prior probability of event A, and ( P(B) ) is the total probability of event B. This theorem is particularly useful in various fields, including statistics, machine learning, and artificial intelligence, as it helps refine predictions and decisions based on new data ¹²⁵.
