Intro to Probability
The Bayes Factor is a statistical tool used to compare the likelihood of two competing hypotheses given some observed data. It quantifies how much more likely the data is under one hypothesis compared to another, providing a way to evaluate evidence in favor of one model over another. This factor plays a crucial role in Bayesian inference and helps in making decisions based on posterior probabilities derived from prior beliefs and observed evidence.
