Both schools use the same mathematical modeling tool, the probability measure, but they use it to model different things in the real world. Frequentists use it as a model for repeatable events like tossing a coin, while Bayesians use it to represent the degree of subjective belief to any statement....
In this post, I would like to share a simple observation of mine which is about deriving some crude form of Occam's razor from a small set of assumptions. Assumptions: 1. Subjective Bayesian probability is used to model an agent's degree of belief in hypotheses. 2. The set of hypotheses...
Suppose that I have a coin with probability of heads p. I certainly know that p is fixed and does not change as I toss the coin. I would like to express my degree of belief in p and then update it as I toss the coin. Using a constant...
We do science using the data we collected through our senses and we use science to understand how our senses work. Although I lack any rigorous formulation of the problem, the following plan seems interesting and I want to share it with you. p= "Human senses collect accurate data about...
