在某種程度上,概率論和統(tǒng)計(jì)學(xué)的目的是完全相反(inverse)的:
In probability theory we consider some underlying process which has some randomness or uncertainty modeled by random variables, and we figure out what happens. 在概率論中,我們是基于已有的理論模型,推斷未知事件發(fā)生的概率。
In statistics we observe something that has happened, and try to figure out what underlying process would explain those observations.在統(tǒng)計(jì)學(xué)中,我們觀察數(shù)據(jù),并推斷什么樣的理論模型可以解釋我們觀察到的數(shù)據(jù)。
Bayes是用于推理的,而推理講究證據(jù),因此如果非要?dú)w類(lèi)的話(huà),Bayes會(huì)屬于統(tǒng)計(jì)學(xué)范疇而不是概率論。
