A Bayesian Christmas Carol


Happy Christmas everybody! Thought it’d be nice to share the famous Christmas carol from George E.P. Box:

There’s no Theorem like Bayes Theorem
Like no theorem we know
Everything about it is appealing
Everything about it is a wow
Let out that a priori feeling
You’ve been concealing up to now.
… There’s no Theorem like Bayes Theorem
Like no Theorem we know.

(Taken from this great book.)

And if you get inspired this X-mas (or bored out of your wits), have a look at this great collection of Bayes-inspired songs, it has the full text to There’s no Theorem like Bayes Theorem too…
