Bayesian Reasoning

Bayesian reasoning is a method of thinking that helps us update our beliefs based on new evidence. It uses Bayes' theorem, which mathematically combines prior knowledge (what we already believe) with new information to produce a more accurate understanding. For example, if you hear a rumor about a friend, you weigh your previous experiences with them against this new information to decide how much to trust the rumor. This approach is useful in various fields, including medicine and statistics, as it allows for more informed decision-making as new data becomes available.
