Bayes Theorem

Bayesian statistics lie at the heart of most statistical reasoning systems.

How is Bayes theorem exploited?

Herein lies a problem:

Thus Simple Bayes rule-based systems are not suitable for uncertain reasoning.

However, Bayesian statistics still provide the core to reasoning in many uncertain reasoning systems with suitable enhancement to overcome the above problems.

We will look at three broad categories:
