Breakthrough Junior Challenge 2020 || Probability Theory: Frequentist Vs. Bayesian

This video discusses Probability Theory and the fundamental divide between the Bayesian and Frequentist interpretation of probability. It also discusses how these interpretations of probability effect statistical inference.
Frequentist probability and inference is commonly taught at the advanced high school or college level, but Bayesian probability and inference is rarely taught in anything other than graduate-level classes, if at all.
If you have any questions, please ask away, or do some research of your own!

I’ve been watching videos on Frequentism vs Bayesian stats, and I have to say, this short video did more to explain the difference between the two than other videos that were much longer. Great job.

[joshmoore]

Really good explanation. I have a masters in analytics and i can honestly say ive never heard this defined in such a clear way. Well played!

I think this video managed to explain why frequentists use pvalues and confidence intervals which I was really struggling to grasp.
thank you!

I swear i watched hour lomg discussions on frequentist vs basian statistics. You made me understand the difference in 2 minutes where their long ass videos did not help at all ... keep it up

[dacianbonta]

going down that rabbit hole of bayesian and frequentist.
but as bayesian, how do you even know the shapes of your alternative distributions? and AoC is coming for both' lunches
bottom line, if you scratch a bayesian hard enough, a frequentist will bleed. And surely vice versa.

[EffectiveMuscle]

Very well explained. I like your style

[redangrybird]

Why did you stop making stats videos?
Thanks, take care

You have 1 million of bushels of sand. 200 000 of them containing red sand. What frequentist and Bayesian probability of finding a red sand bushel you have if you can take only 10 attempts, 100 attempts, 1000 attempts, attempts, attempts?

Wow I thought I had my video on 2x speed 😆
