Principal speaker
Associate Professor Sama Low-Choy
We disrupt the traditional approach to teaching Bayesian statistical thinking that relies on the mathematics of integrals. Ferrie's boardbook for babies (and their parents) presents a much simpler way of demonstrating Bayes' theorem in action. There are lots of pictures, few words and no integral signs! We start by looking at how some cookies may or may not have candy on them, which affects whether a bite out of the cookie has candy or not. Then
we show you how to "flip" this perspective around, so that if you take a bite, and you know if it has candy or not, you can talk about the chance that the cookie had candy or not. We explore the same idea in other contexts, like interpretation of medical tests (e.g. for viruses) or sabermetrics for Aussie Rules.
