This module introduces the core principles of Bayesian statistics and demonstrates their application in supervised machine learning and A/B testing. Learners will explore the fundamentals of Bayesian inference, examine practical examples of decision-making under uncertainty, and gain hands-on experience implementing Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods using PyMC. By the end of the module, participants will develop the ability to connect Bayesian theory with real-world machine learning experiments.

This module introduces learners to the fundamentals of preparing healthcare datasets for Bayesian statistical modeling using Microsoft Excel. Learners will explore project goals, understand the structure of real-world healthcare testing data, and create efficient summaries for initial analysis. By examining historical, future, demographic, and center-based trends, students will gain the ability to organize, interpret, and structure data effectively, ensuring a strong foundation for Bayesian probability applications in healthcare analytics.

This module guides learners through constructing and applying Bayesian probability tables in Microsoft Excel to analyze healthcare testing scenarios. Students will learn how to structure Bayesian frameworks, calculate joint probabilities, update prior probabilities with new evidence, and interpret outcomes across multiple testing cycles. By the end of this module, learners will be able to apply Bayesian reasoning to real-world healthcare data, enhancing accuracy in predictive healthcare analytics.
