Best simple presentation of Bayes' Theorem I've seen so far. Thanks for the video.

[anticorncob]

I prefer Baye’s theorem as
P(A|B)*P(B)=P(B|A)*P(A)
Easy to remember and symmetric. And it’s also helpful because sometimes it’s the conditional probability you’re solving for

[ahmedXY]

The Best and most straightforward explanation that I have seen. There are so many videos out there...very confusing.

[joejoe-lbbw]

There are a lot of good Bayes videos out there with all the boxes and explanations. This one just cuts straight to the point and gives a very simple example that we can relate to. Excellent.

Could u guys make two videos that explain Gödel's incompleteness theorems without too much details, but detailed enough to understand the idea?

[Thetarget]

That was a really understandable example. Though terms like "P of H given E" and "P of E given H" mess up my head.

WIll you be making a video on how this relates to the philosophy of science?

[austinlindsey]

Have spent too much time searching for resources to break down and explain this theorem; this 6 minute video trumps all. Well done and thanks Ian.

Fantastic vid, Ian is great at explaining the concept

[bikefarmtaiwan]

You did a great job of introducing this theory. You have the right talents to do well with these kinds of videos.

[sukgihong]

I currently study entry-level data science, and this is reall helpful. Thanks a lot for the video. BTW, can you let me know what video editing tools did you use to make this?

[samanthaeves]

This was a fantastic video. I'm going to a CUNY school for undergrad and this video makes me proud of it :)

[hemm]

After watching many videos on this concept and pulling my hair off, finally ended with this best explanation video. Thanks ❤

[ridhikakhanna]

Great Video!!! Have been struggling to understand this concept but you have made it simple and clear for me. Thank you so much!! :)

[daviddemar]

Omg! ian im an atty assistant to a nys supreme ct. Justice. I've never taken a probability/statistics class. My judge has a matter pending before him right now which amongst other science related topics, involves Bayesian probability. Well thanks to you and this amazing video [unlike others I've watched this week, fruitlessly ] I get it now, I get it You are now one of my heroes- a gold medalist MATHLETE.
Thank you and good luck and much success in your studies and in all of your endeavors. 😊 now let's cure Hypothesitis!

Very nice video, i recently went to a presentation about the power of evidence in criminal law and they used Bayes' Theorem to calculate the power of the evidence. Liked and subbed

[galanoftaa]

I've a bunch a videos online trying to explain Bayes Rules. This one is the best I've seen so far. If you guys have a problem with this video you should see some of the other stuff out there.

[SoSoKayla]

I always enjoy seeing how the logic that I use pretty much without realizing why can be broken down and explained so that other people who don't possess the same quality of innate faculties can have it explained to them.

[simonzak]

Absolutely so cool. A tool looking specifically at the situation where we grant that we don’t know whether something is true.

[rishisingh]

The BEST presentation of the concept I have seen so far; thanks a ton!

critical thinking should be taught to children. as a child i ALWAYS searched for this, never found it. no teacher ever knew what i was asking for. there was no internet like it is now back then. it wasnt until after college i actually indulged in critical thinking and studying it. the world would be a much better place if children would understand these terms.
