'''Bayes' Theorem''', also known as Bayes' Rule, is used in [[statistics]] and [[probability]] theory to relate marginal probabilities and conditional probabilities.  In the context of [[Bayesian probability theory]], it is used to update degrees of belief (probabilities) given new information. The theorem is attributed to the Reverend [[Thomas Bayes]] (1702-1761) an English nonconformist minister, but it is likely to have been known to earlier mathematicians such as [[Pierre Laplace]].
