Abstract:
Bayesian methods are well-suited for business applications because they provide concrete guidance for decision-making under uncertainty. But many data science teams lack the background to take advantage of these methods. In this presentation I will explain the advantages and suggest ways for teams to develop skills and add Bayesian methods to their toolkit.
