A visual guide to Bayesian thinking

- I use pictures to illustrate the mechanics of "Bayes' rule," a mathematical theorem about how to update your beliefs as you encounter new evidence. Then I tell three stories from my life that show how I use Bayes' rule to improve my thinking.
If a repair man wants to rob you, he'll do it when he's writing the bill.
Good One!
TRUE..the repairman was looking to see if there were males in the household or someone else
who might know he was gouging you when he did the repairs and billed
you. i know LOTS of trades repair companies (especially plumbers and
heater/AC) that permit their installers to keep half of the take.
their crooked tradesmen will look around to gauge the ability of the
customer to call BS on unnecessary or bogus repairs...especially on
women who are unlikely to know if there even is such a thing as a
conibbler pin or a fragistat. years ago my wife got a bid for $750 for
new brake pads on a small car. when i called the guy to ask if that
included the rears and new rotors and bearing he said no...JUST PADS,
front only...no fluid bleed, no bearing regrease, not even a rotor
resurfacing. i told him he should be ashamed of himself as i had a bid
from the local legit repair shop for $130 including surfacing, repair
persons are incentivized to overcharge but are smart enough to do it so
they don't get caught
Mortimer Snead He likes the way you decorate?
VALID POINT !
You should tell your wife to have her Veyron serviced somewhere else.
before video : chances of me being a millionaire 0.1%
after video : i applied bayesian thinking (remembered my priors) , now the chance is 0.0001%
What was the new piece of information you used to update your priors? I'd love to see the full calculation. ;)
Reality bites!
asdfghyter fact that he is wasting his time on UA-cam might be one of them :p
yeah in America there's 10M millioniares. That's 3.33% of the population. If you save your money not becoming a millionaire is impossible unless you are 50 yrsold, or have an IQ below ~90ish probably

You live to the ripe old age of 125 :)
Great, explanation. Your real world examples were very useful for me to think through. Thanks.
Very informative and probably useful as an introduction. Neat presentation, especially the graphics.
The fact that none of those stories were completed shakes me to my core.
I wanna know wtf the repairman was doing because I peek around a lot and i dont have a lot of social experience, so i like to know what things people are doing wrong
Ikr?
I have absolute no idea why this was recommended to me but here’s a new subscriber.
If the algorithm recommended it, think of it as good fortune. If it was a friend's recommendation then maybe it was a hint to be more open minded?
Yep
Think like me who doesn't fall in love to you, but who never allow you to be in love with anybody...

You are a naturally gifted teacher, thank you very much. This will come in useful for certain areas of interest, in particular biases. If you've not covered Henry George yet, go down that rabbit hole and you may just find something.
Most people are really good at "Biasian" thinking.
genius pun ... duh
I see what you did there.
...which is to say, really good at fear mongering and mystical belief.
But they have to weigh up how true it is first.
bahaha i love puns. really helps that its spelled out lol
Good. I've "known" Bayes' rule for 50 years but your explanation was the best visual one I've seen. I like the way you apply it to everyday life. Thank you.
This was exactly what i was searching for. Thanks Julia!

The trouble with updating beliefs while encountering new evidence today is we can all find evidence to support any belief. It really depends where one looks for said evidence. We all have so many information sources to tap now. So everyone can easily find whatever echo chamber they need, to reinforce whatever belief they hold dear.
Your statement is fully correct. It looks that statistics become more stable if you get more and more data. However the quality of data matters a lot too! And this is also included to the Bayes theory! The simplest example is having two Gaussian distributions, if you put them together, the tighter one will win, i.e. the more uncertain one has little impact. Indeed it is hard to quantify everything, but with the Bayes theory all is combined at least in a consistent way. If you want to get on something, the theory helps you not to loose.
Yes, you have to be honestly self aware to be able to use the principle - ie you have to ask the question "how would the data look in my personal echo chamber if I was wrong" vs "how would the data look in my personal echo chamber if I was right"? And you would honestly have to draw the conclusion that my echo chamber will still only resound the message I already have taken as true, wether my belief is true or not.
Four years since I first watched this video and for some reason, it is #1 on my recommendations today. Much appreciation. Watching this is bringing back fond memories of a summer long gone.
woah, that's SO strange because the same happened to me!
I got recommended this video and the thumbnail gave me de ja vu, because I've seen it before. And I think it was four years ago as well.
I've noticed a lot of comments dated "2 weeks ago". Maybe this youtube channel is making a big comeback.

As someone who uses Bayesian systems professionally, in daily life thinking, and also to show why other people's arguments don't land, I have to say that this is a fantastic video. It very clearly illustrates to the layperson why Bayes is what is and what the messages are. I will be sharing this with others.
Let me guess, you're one of those geniuses that predicted that there was no way for Donald Trump to win? because after all, Hillary got the women vote, the latino vote...lol
Let me guess, you're one of those people that mocks people a lot and ends their sentences in...lol
I've often seen Bayesian analysis in the title of academic papers, and this explained the basic principle. But instead of offering five very similar examples, perhaps she could have moved on to some more advanced applications in scientific inquiry and statistics.
_"As someone who uses Bayesian systems professionally"_
It's funny, because for people with any amount of intelligence these kinds of methods would just be completely intuitive, obvious or logical when working out decisions, it's incredibly basic mathematics. But then I guess I should never be surprised by how low the bar can be.
+jamma246
If you think this sort of thinking is intuitive, then you might want to check out LessWrong.com so you can see how deep the rabbit hole goes. Fallacious and biased reasoning is the norm in 98% of the population. Most humans are extremely weak at rationality by default. This makes the world a rather frustrating place.
I've done a lot of repair work, and I know what's it's like to be in the category: "looks like he's going to rob you but really he's just doing his job." Let me tell you - every place is built differently, and you should always keep your eyes open.. One time I found a gas line going into a bedroom and not even capped off. The place would have filled up with explosives at the turn of a knob, well if not for my "snooping about" that is. But it's also part of the job description to not freak people out. I just said, "I need to look around a bit to make sure I know where all the gas lines are going."
That girl did not provide adequate background on stove repair. Like, old house, gas or electic stove. Why is this critical information? A good repair-man/woman, would look around to not only fix the point but also all connected to that point. Also, it would be so easy to inquire, why are you looking into bedroom/s? She phrases it snooping, which is secretly done, which did not seem to the situation/
Uh, I think that might have been because the video wasn't about stove repair. The details are rather incidental to what she was actually explaining.
She's in her thirties.
As a repairman also, I'll throw in my 2 cents worth. When you enter a house to do repairs you should always examine your surroundings to identify any potential exit points or hidden dangers such as friendly dogs that don't bite (been bitten twice).
Brew Sauce+ I've done a lot of electrical repair work, and it becomes second nature when entering an unfamiliar place to glance around looking for potential problems, to a point where one may not even be aware of it. And btw, I've spotted many problems -- shock and/or fire hazards -- that the homeowner was oblivious to. It is the responsibility of the electrician to spot these hazards, point them out, and recommend (even insist) appropriate remedies. I imagine it's the same for someone coming to repair your gas range (assuming it is a gas range). He would want to know if there any other gas appliances in the house, any lines/valves/couplings that might be problem, etc. It would be irresponsible to not ascertain this info.
Isn't it amazing how personality and the subsequent psychology factors into not only the type of career path one may choose to do but also their attitude in life? Some people naturally tend to be shy while others are predisposed to be extroverted and thereby inclined to have greater degree of social success - these are the business and management types and are often well suited to their role. Perhaps this could be taken as an indication of what career an individual might be better suited for rather than lumping everyone into a uniform set and expecting them to perform in an identical way in accordance akin to a one dimensional academic expectation. Its like throwing out the baby with the bath water. In education, many will display a greater inclination toward a specific interest that presents itself as a good reflection of what they are really curious about. These subsequently aspire toward achievement in their chosen fields that is often associated with quiet study and solitude (think library) often resulting in an excellence in both attitude and performance. Additionally however, such a generalized performance model or KPI can exclude an individual from achieving their true potential as the expectation is in accordance to a generalization rather than specialization.
What would the personality traits of someone have to be for you to suggest they become a career criminal?
@Julia very good explanation. What is the tool you used to draw the things on screen?
I realize I've been using this intuitively for years to fight my, or others' fears. But being able to quantify and codeify it is such work work of brilliance, I'm astounded. That's a smart person.
I had a rudimentary understanding of Bayes theorem prior to this video, but now I feel like I really understand it. thank you
Very good video. I m learning statistics and this has helped me a lot

These personal experience examples were amazing, helped understand it more intuitively. Thank you! Came here after crunching through some equations but these real world examples showcased the theorem in a very simple way.
Repairman snooping around for the circuit breaker: Appliance repairmen sometimes have this weird preoccupation with turning off the electricity to an appliance before they work on it. 220 volts can really ruin your day.
In the UK at least, by law there has to be a circuit breaker within reach of the stove. In the US it will be split phase, so pretty hard to get the full 220v.
@@Tensquaremetreworkshop Most stove are run on 220V as well as electric dryers. Fools and high voltages can soon be connected.
Maybe he was looking for a bathroom.
@@walkergarya Yes, I know. And that is split phase, so 110 to ground. If you are not familiar with split phase, look it up.

great vid. What's the joint probability prior of shifty eye repairmen?
I've always liked to use something close to this general thought to keep my analysis, general guesses and knowledge of stuff updated and changing, avoiding fixed preconceptions or prejudices. This is quite similar in many ways to my personal system, although I haven't put it down in numbers or created clear rules and patterns, it was more psychological and simple.
It's very interesting to find something close, and makes me even more interested in the possibility of studying statistics, something I already like a lot, but don't know if I like enough to live on it.
Thanks for this, I think I first saw you with Matt Parker on Bayes. Keep up the great job. Every detail can have a small influence on coming to momentary (?) conclusions, always doubt yourself.
_sees repairman checking out my bedroom_
_slams him against the wall_
"8% chance you're gonna rob the place, huh punk?"
"but sir, I'm here to repair your bed"
"Bayes would disagree .... get out before I call the police"
That would mean there's a 92 percent chance you're just an a-hole ; )
for some reason, the 'but sir' immediately made the repairman British in my internal narrative, making your story even more absurd, thank you sir!
Odds are he either likes your house, or is shocked to disbelief at the mess!
I just read:
sees repairman checking out my bedroom
slams him against the wall

Why is "Bayes would disagree" both the toughest and nerdiest line at the same time.

Wow! This was very insightful. Even the way you calculated the conditional probability without using the formula and just using the areas instead.

How do we make balanced/accurate estimates for the figures used in the Bayesian reasoning framework?
The fact that there's so many comments here along the lines of "wow, this totally changed my perspective on everything" is quite unsettling to be honest.
But positive.
Didn't find any, and that's unsettling too
well, It is reflected in the politicians most people choose.
ok why did a bunch of people get this video in their feed... pls comment.. what did u last watch?
@@sasisarath8675 "How to rob people by pretending to be a repairman"
Bayes' Rule is an important component of critical thinking. The ability to think critically is a skill that needs to be learned. The challenge is that common sense and intuition are often very wrong, and there's no trivial way for knowing when. It's on a case-by-case basis, and all those cases are about patterns that need to be recognized and examined.

Fake repairman is the oldest cannibal trick in the book.
which is why you're still here to tell the tale ...she's trying to lead us astray ...thank you

Your videos have added that extra weight to my priors I need to convince me of the merit of Bayes Theorem. I'm committing myself to practice Bayes thinking. Thank you!
My friend; Bayes Theorem is running and operating regardless of your commitment status. To me, the video is a statement and not a proposal.

Your perspective is of equal relevance to me, a 3rd party stranger.

a similar method I've used since I read about it in childhood: when the Wright brothers were debating methodologies they'd switch positions and argue for the other idea on the table. it's also a great tool just for building empathy and considering viewpoints that you don't currently, natively inhabit.
The willingness or openness to challenge your initial impressions, and subsequently alter them, is a component of the attribute we used to call "humility". It has more to do with wanting to see things accurately, than it does with some false sense of being humble.

This popped up in my recommendations. Never have I been so instantly hooked.
This is great, particularly the animation of updating your priors after receiving new information like in the meditation example. Most people only update their priors when they get a result that confirms their previous bias.
I reluctantly agree. And I perceive that social media, with its stovepiping algorithms, exacerbates this. One can, almost without noticing, end up in silos where there is a high degree of conformity of opinion, and where differing views are subtly, or not so subtly, marginalized.
In my own case...though I try to avoid confirmation bias, I have no doubt that I'm afflicted with it. It's easy, maybe even comforting, to be surrounded by people who agree with you, and to latch on to tidbits of info that confirm one's vested position. OTOH, when I re-think a position, based on new evidence, or even a compelling personal testimony or someone eloquently putting forth a different view, it feels liberating.
But remember, she has the scout mindset (and not the soldier mindset) !

Couldn't help smiling when I head the words 'Berkley' and 'snowflake' in the video. Hard to imagine extremely intelligent people becoming snowflakes. But may be there is no correlation between intelligence and wisdom.
Not saying the presenter is a snowflake. But I see a lot of young people take positions that would be considered 'progressive' in their eagerness to 'look' elite among their peers.
+B-Rad that's exactly what I am talking about - Classic elitism. I should have also added that this behavior has to do with conforming with 'views' spread by the progressives elites, so one could look like them. It is implied in my statement, but seems some people need more clarification.
Let me guess, you 'think' to care about animals & environment means to not eat them, because you have 'learned' this info from material that you read or watched on T.V or the internet. If you tell me you have a psychological problem to kill and eat another living, breathing thing, I will probably excuse you. But, the loving animals and earth etc is baloney. You just don't realize it is baloney - that's all.
If I prove to you that vegetables and plants also perceive pain..... my bad, this has already been proven. (Read about scientist Bose's work from more than a 100 years ago) Will you stop eating food altogether?

I had the same thought when she mentioned meditation. How can sitting down and doing nothing be 'fake'? More like 'I dont have what it takes to do it, so I'm gonna call it fake to convince myself it doesn't work'
Why would you like something that encourages falsity and error? Are your feelings more important than discerning the truth (which is the basis for this whole video)?

As to the final part, "Update incrementally", it is good to keep in mind when doing so that forming a general principle based on personal exposure, even if to many adherents, is still anecdotal not empirical, and thus influenced by the persons own biases or the context of the social norms. So in Berkley, where there is a lot of new-agey sentiment there are more people who feel that meditation is beneficial and this in and of itself can increase ones own personal perception of benefits, or if formulating opinions based on informal tallies of personal interactions, lead you to think, well it must actually have positive benefits because so many of those I encounter say it does. It is much like if you went to Brigham Young you would find many more people who said that prayer caused changes in the world or if you were at a Rainbow Gathering you would find a high percentage of people who felt LSD expanded your mental abilities and capacities.
Well said! That incremental exposure to an idea is how advertising works. One would be better off to let the positive words from a respected friend lead them to research the scientific evidence of the changes that, in this case, meditation makes in the brain as shown in brain imaging/scanning..
Excellent video. Really makes the theory understandable.

I've been struggling to "get" bayesian stats for a couple of years, sorry to say, because even in my technical work (biomedical informatics) I need visual representations of abstract relationships to help me think through problems. So your visual aids were extremely helpful to me. They took a rather wobbly abstract concept of priors and offloaded them to a visual concrete representation to reduce cognitive load. Thanks so much and I've subscribed to see what else I can learn!
To me, it's a cognitive load even after visual representations. One is either numerically/scientifically predisposed or isn't. I don't think you can force yourself to become adept at something you're not naturally adept at.
Another important clue that Tom is a Math PhD student: He's walking. MBA students travel around campus in golf carts that they stole from the campus maintenance department.

I don't know much about meditation, but as far as I do know, meditation is nothing more than you practicing to control your racing thoughts. And as we all may know, the more you practice something, the better you get at it.
@Fernando Cunha I'd actually say that it is incredibly simple once you get the hang of it. What could be simpler than winding down? I've done it for 10 years and I love it.
I'd also just say that it is more about being attentive and open to yourself than about actually wanting to controlling your thoughts, though it's true they will become calmer and more focused.
I would agree however, that without some practice in a meditation centre under a proper teacher it can be difficult to get the hang of it by yourself.
I highly recommend the books and talks (a lot of them are in youtube) by Thich Nhat Hanh (vietnamese zen master). He speaks plainly and powerfully, in a way akin to science. He likens zen theory to Lavoisier's principle of the conservation of mass. And you can feel that he is largely free from attachment and dogma.
Good logic. I've cultivated this in myself, though I never knew a particular name for it.
