Beta Distribution — Intuition, Examples, and Derivation

 Towards Data Science

The Beta distribution is a probability distribution on probabilities. For example, we can use it to model the probabilities: the Click-Through Rate of your advertisement, the conversion rate of…

How the Beta distribution connects sorting and tossing coins

 Towards Data Science

Say you have a coin and know nothing about the probability of heads. It’s reasonable to assume it’s distributed uniform between 0 and 1 (no reason to prefer any probability over any other since we…
