🎉 Course Title: "Bayes' Theorem and Bayesian Statistics from Scratch - A Beginner's Guide"

👩‍🏫 Instructor: Woody Lewenstein, a seasoned statistician with a knack for demystifying complex concepts.

Course Description:

Are you intrigued by the power of Bayesian statistics but feel lost in a sea of probabilities and theorems? This course is your lifeline! Whether you're a complete novice or looking to deepen your understanding of Bayesian methods, this comprehensive guide will set you on the right path.

Why Study Bayesian Statistics? 📊

• Versatile Applications: From cutting-edge machine learning to predictive analytics, sports betting strategies, and even underwater treasure hunts, Bayesian statistics is a tool with a myriad of real-world applications.
• Decision Making: Learn how to make informed decisions by quantifying the certainty of your beliefs and updating them as new evidence comes in.
• Understanding Probability: Before diving into Bayes' Theorem, we'll ensure you have a solid grasp of what probability is all about and how it differs from the more traditional Frequentist approach.

What You Will Learn:

1. The Fundamentals of Probability: We lay the groundwork by exploring the meaning of probability and understanding its core principles.

2. Conditional Probability & "Baby Bayes' Theorem":

   • Master the basics with Venn diagrams and tree diagrams.
   • Dive into conditional probability and learn how to apply the "Baby Bayes' Theorem" in various scenarios.

3. Bayesian Statistics in Action:

   • Uncover the derivation of Bayes' Theorem using intuitive and counter-intuitive examples that will stick with you.
   • Engage with interactive exercises that bring the concepts to life.

4. Solving Historical Puzzles with Modern Techniques:

   • Tackle the challenge Thomas Bayes posed over 250 years ago using only calculus and the power of Bayes' Theorem.

5. Real-World Applications & Case Studies:

   • Explore real-world examples that demonstrate how Bayesian statistics is applied in various fields to make decisions under uncertainty.

By the End of This Course, You Will Be Able To:

• Distinguish between Bayesian and Frequentist perspectives on probability.
• Derive and apply Bayes' Theorem in practical scenarios.
• Solve complex problems involving conditional probabilities with confidence.
• Understand and interpret the results of Bayesian statistical models.
