Introduction to Bayesian Data Analysis

of the bachelor's thesis Title: Introduction to Bayesian Data Analysis Author: Kateřina Štádlerová Department: Department of Probability and Mathematical Statistics Supervisor: doc. Mgr. Michal Kulich, Ph.D., Department of Probability and Mathematical Statistics Abstract: The paper deals with basic principles of Bayesian methods. These me- thods have very broad range of use in statistical problems concerning estimation and hypothesis testing. However, their use is much wider; these methods are used in anti-spam filters of electronic mail or in the game theory. Definitions, theo- rems, proofs and examples are included in the paper for this purpose to enable easier understanding of particular topics. The paper is helpful mainly because of the fact that as yet there are not many books in Czech language dealing with Bayesian methods.
