Bayesian Statistics


Bayesian statistics has taken firm root with the advent of computing power that has made it practical; most spam filters are based on Bayesian methods.  But Thomas Bayes, during his lifetime, was known primarily in his community as a "dissenting minister," whose mathematical interests came second.
