All About that Bayes: Probability, Statistics, and the Quest to Quantify Uncertainty

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory statistician Kristin Lennox delves into the history of statistics and probability in this talk, "All About that Bayes: Probability, Statistics, and the Quest to Quantify Uncertainty," given at LLNL on July 28, 2016.

Abstract:

The great Bayesian vs. Frequentist war has raged within statistics for almost 100 years, much to the confusion of outsiders. The Bayesian/Frequentist question is no longer academic, with both styles of inference appearing frequently in scientific literature and even the news. In this talk, Kristin Lennox aims to explain the great divide to non-statisticians, and also to answer the most important statistical question of all: how does probability allow us to better understand our world?
