An Introduction to the Powerful Bayes' Theorem for Data Science Professionals

Probability is at the very core of a lot of data science algorithms. In fact, the solutions to so many data science problems are probabilistic in nature – hence I always advice focusing on learning statistics and probability before jumping into the algorithms. But I've seen a lot of aspiring data scientists shunning statistics, especially Bayesian statistics. It remains incomprehensible to a lot of analysts and data scientists. I'm sure a lot of you are nodding your head at this! Bayes' Theorem, a major aspect of Bayesian Statistics, was created by Thomas Bayes, a monk who lived during the eighteenth century. The very fact that we're still learning about it shows how influential his work has been across centuries!
