مستخلص: In statistics, there are two very different approaches to making inferences about unknown parameters: the frequentist, or non-Bayesian, and the Bayesian. One of the key differences between these two approaches is the notion of probability employed. The frequentist approach defines probability as the relative frequency of an event occurring in repeated trials; probability under this definition is also termed “objective probability.” The Bayesian approach regards probability as a measure of the uncertainty inherent in a researcher’s rational belief about the values of parameters or unknown quantities of concern. Another important difference is related to the specification of unknown parameters. The frequentist approach considers parameters as unknown but nonrandom values. By contrast, the Bayesian method regards parameters as random variables and uses probability distribution to specify possible values of those parameters.
