A framework for uncertainty quantification and prior knowledge integration.

Bayesian statistics provides a mathematical data analysis framework for representing uncertainty and incorporating prior knowledge into statistical inference. In Bayesian statistics, probabilities are used to represent the uncertainty in parameters rather than the data itself. This approach allows for the incorporation of prior information and the use of subjective and objective beliefs about the parameters.
