does anyone know a program that calculates Bayesian probability's.

Comment author: gwern 24 July 2015 03:00:52AM 2 points [-]

This is far too general a question; there are many programs for calculating many things with 'Bayesian' in their name.

can you give me an example?

Comment author: Vaniver 24 July 2015 01:23:33PM 2 points [-]

One example is BUGS, which uses Gibbs sampling to do Bayesian inference in complicated statistical models.

Tell us what you have, and what you'd like to turn it into.

thanks for the info!

are there any list (wikipedia list like) of all programs that calculates Bayesian probability's?

Turns out there is. Probably not all of the programs though.

Are you trying to do something specific or are you just curious about learning about Bayesian statistics? The software on that list probably won't be that useful unless you already know a bit about statistics theory and have a specific problem you want to solve.
