The Bayesian, on the other hand, think that we start with some assumption about the parameters (even if unknowingly) and use the data to refine our opinion about those parameters. Both are …

Dec 14, 2014 · A Bayesian model is just a model that draws its inferences from the posterior distribution, i.e. utilizes a prior distribution and a likelihood which are related by Bayes' theorem.

Flat priors have a long history in Bayesian analysis, stretching back to Bayes and Laplace. A "vague" prior is highly diffuse though not necessarily flat, and it expresses that a large range of …
