What the Heck is Bayesian Stats ?? : Data Science Basics

What's all the hype about Bayesian statistics?

[TarunKumar-bwlr]

I've been hearing about bayesian thinking from last 6 months and was watching multiple videos about it. I never understood priors, likelihood and posterior from rea life perspective but youtube recommended this hidden gem to me. I'm glad I came across your channel :)

I was waiting for this video, plz do a serie about bayesian statistics and explain how we can do it, estimating parameters ....!!! 🙏🙏🙏

[sarahscott]

Wow, i never understood how bayesian thinking revolved around updating a prior belief. it was always so obscure to me, trying to reason around three distributions (prior, likelihood, posterior) But your one sentence "prior beliefs get updated w/ new data" really puts it into perspective. I had no idea the posterior was the updated prior. Thank you for such a great video!

This is the easiest, thus the best introduction to Bayesian Stat, I ever came cross. It transfer to knowledge from Frequentist Probability to Conditional Probability, then to Bayesian Probability in a concise manner. Thanks for it and the others...

[shiyangchen]

Excellent work!!! You've made the content SO EASY to understand!

[GregThatcher]

Great stuff. I've been trying to understand the Frequentist vs. Bayes reasoning for a long time, and now I get it. Thanks so much.

I still remember that I took Bayesian Statistics in college, and that was one of my favorite class!

[rubencardenes]

So nicely explained! I really like how you go beyond the formulas, explaining the concepts, also with clear examples.

[martingreler]

You're work is opening doors for me. Thank you!

[realimaginary]

Zero fluff and exceptional clarity. Updating my prior belief that I understood Bayesian thinking. Thank you Sir!

[gaofan]

Excellent explanation. Thank you so much for your hard work. I'm watching your vids just for entertainment after work :)

[sasakevin]

The explanation of this concept is often presented in a dry manner with formulas, while some use engaging and intricate animations to explain it. However, you excel in your ability to intuitively convey how we should understand it. This approach is highly effective as it links science directly to our lives. I particularly appreciate your style.

I really don't know where I'd be without ritvikmath to explain these complex concepts in statistics. Thank you for an amazing video. This is certainly one of the best videos on Bayesian statistics on YouTube.

[abdulelahaljeffery]

this is, seriously, top notch stuff ❤️❤️
would love to have more bayesian topics ...
how dose the markov chain monte carlo algorithm works? gibbs sampling? all those bayesian concepts

[jacksonli]

Been hearing about it, asked around many times but i still didn't get it. Thank you for finally elucidating this concept in a clear manner!

[mrinalde]

Good job Ritvik. There are few explanations I have seen in the past, I will recommend your video from now on :)

[federicocardona]

Excellent! Now I've finally got it, thanks to you. Congratulations!

[immersivestudyandliving]

I used Naive bayes classifier in my final class project last semester. You explained Baysian Stats nicely. Keep posting good contents 👍.

[MS-fwkf]

hands down one of the best explanations!

Hey ritvikmath
This is pure genius - literally the best video I saw about explaing the basics of bayesian statistics. I really understood it now & as I am writing my thesis about prediciting carbon price with bayesian stats (and the new shrinkTVP package in R) this really helps me a lot.

One idea that tripped me up a bit is between 9:30-10:00, as you talk about dividing 15/170 and I thought: isn't the probability that I hear the noise 20/170? After rewatching a few times I know what you mean - just something that might make it even better as it already is. Thanks for providing real value!
