[FRIAM] Learning about Bayesian Statistics

[George Duncan]

At Friday's church service Nick asked about how one might learn the basics
of Bayesian statistics. I said I would think about it, and so here are my
conclusions.

For historical and philosophical background: Read The Emergence of
Probability by Ian Hacking

For a systematic course: Take Coursera, Bayesian Statistics, a course from
Duke University with a 7-day free trial.

Also of course there are several reasonable texts on Bayesian Statistics.

My art theme: Dynamic exposition of the tension between matrix order and
luminous chaos.

"Attempt what is not certain. Certainty may or may not come later. It may
then be a valuable delusion."

power." Joanna Macy.
