Pros & Cons
Pros
The first couple of examples really cement the idea behind bayesian probability. The only critique i have is the level of focus on the excel spreadsheet.
The examples are helpful and easy to grasp. It gives enough to bite one and actually implement some of the ideas in practice!
A good book for those interested in prediction correction. Really appreciated the follow up with recommendation for my next book purchase.
The book delivers on what it a sequence of very intuitive examples. I am not a mathematician, and this book did a good job explaining the theorem to me. It took me through gradually more complex applications of it.
The opening section introduces bayes theorem the set of of dice with four, six and eight sides. If i role in number, without knowing which die was used, i gain some ability to predict what the die was. The most interesting problem relates to trying to... Read More
Cons
No intuition behind bayes theorem, just a mechanical recipe.

But anything in between requires bayes theorem
