Frequentism and Bayesianism: What's the Big Deal? - SciPy 2014 - Jake VanderPlas

Frequentist vs Bayesian vs ML (triangle)

[history of MCMC tools]

Picture at min 6:30

  • frequentist -> Bayesian
  • hypothesis testing -> estimaiton with uncertainty

Example

  • coal mining data 1851 - 1962

min 8 - picture of Bayes theorem

post = likeil * prior / model evidence

non-informative prior

Nusiance params (min 10)

Incorrect prior = biased results

Uncertantity

  • freq = if this experiment repeated many times, in 95% of the cases the computed confidence intervals will contain the true parameter
  • bayes = given the data, there is a 95% probability that the vaule of the paremeter lies in the credible region

freq = vary the confidence interval, fixes the param bayes = varys the param, fixes the credible region

example at 1820

bayes = Probabilistic statement about parameters given a gixed credible region

Freq = Probabilistic statement about a procedure for generating confidence intervals given a fixed model parameter
