| Brief Information |
Thomas Bayes was an English statistician and philosopher who is best known for his posthumously published work on a mathematical definition of probability. His essay, "An Essay towards the Solution of a Problem in the Doctrine of Chances," introduced Bayes' Theorem. This theorem, which describes the probability of an event based on prior knowledge of conditions that might be related to the event, has become a fundamental concept in probability theory and statistics. |
