Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

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.

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    My roll was greater than 4 and the four sided die is eliminated likewise if my roll was greater than 6 then i know the eight sided die was used

    But anything in between requires bayes theorem


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I had wished the likelihood equations were written in the text similar to the first example for subsequent examples as i am not an excel user

    Also some additional moderate complexity practical examples would have been helpful
