Thomas Bayes (1701–1761) was an English statistician, philosopher, and Presbyterian minister, best known for his contributions to the field of probability and statistics. He is particularly renowned for Bayes' theorem, a fundamental theorem in probability theory that describes the probability of an event based on prior knowledge of conditions related to the event. Bayes' theorem mathematically expresses how to update the probability of a hypothesis as more evidence or information becomes available.
