The theorem was discovered by an English statistician and minister named Thomas Bayes in the 18th century. Bayes never published his work; his notes were edited and published posthumously by the mathematician Richard Price. Bayes' theorem is given by the following formula:
A and B are events; P(A) is the probability of observing event A, and P(B) is the probability of observing event B. P(A|B) is the conditional probability of observing A given that B was observed. In classification tasks, our goal is to map features ...
