Bayes Theorem and some of the mysteries it has solved

Hope you guys enjoy! Few things I want to mention.

1) There was A LOT of information with regards to each of these stories and I obviously couldn't include it all, so just note none of this paints the full picture in terms of all the analysis that these people did.

2) Because of that first bullet point, I included sources and references to every story in the description for those who want more information. (I got a lot of info from one book which I linked at the top of the references).

3) Yes I know the video is really about how mysteries were solved with Bayes' theorem.

It's fascinating to realize that our brain does this rechecking thing (updating the probability instead of making it zero) automatically and we recheck for our lost keys.

I’m starting to respect statistics instead of hating them
Thanks

The wreckage of the French submarine Minerve has finally been found about 28 miles off the southern coast of France, near the port of Toulon. July 2019

As an EE student this channel is one of the best channels i use to motivate me to study harder

Students: why am I even learning this I'm never gonna need it in real situations

'How to find lost objects with Bayesian Statistics' -- better title.

Has someone done a simulation where you compare the best known algorithm with one based on naive intuition, and see how much the success rate improves from using Bayes etc?

It was interesting to see how Bayes theorem applies in a lot of cases. I've used it myself to help clean up distorted electronic signals by suggesting corrections until the CRCs suddenly test true. BTW Turing is closer than you think. He worked with MV Wilkes after the war, and in the 70s I was one of Wilkes last students before he retired.

Great examples of real life applications of some mathematical statistics mechanics. Very insightful!

This channel always changes my perspective towards mathematics and makes my interest in it

That probability tree you just showed is AWESOME!!!! I haven't got to Prob and Stats yet, and have only really messed around with online lectures, but I haven't seen anyone visually organize probability like that before. Thank you for showing me something new!

You deserve at least a million subscribers. Keep it up brother.

[robertschlesinger]

Excellent overview of some special applications of Bayes Theorem and Bayesian methods. Many thanks for the links to relevant sources.

[xyzxyzuvwuvw]

you always put out the most fascinating uses of maths

Me, taking AP Calc, as well as planning on taking AP stats next year: “let me watch a bunch of fun math videos for hours on end”
*the federalist papers*
Me also taking APUSH: no.. please no

[NURii]

you makes math topics so fascinating and fun i relize how important statistics and probability is

[lFreakey]

Just discovered your channel, and to be honest, you have raised my interest in math more than thirteen years of continuous education. Keep the awesome videos up, thanks man! :)

[skulleeman]

Good balance of educational and entertainment elements

Man I loved these probability topics in my school classes.
Its really cool to know all the mathematics behind it, seeing how adults hype these mathematics so much later on in life lol.
