Chance would be a fine thing: ”Walk into a research department in Cambridge, MIT or Stanford
nowadays,’ says Mike Lynch, Britain’s leading software entrepreneur and
a devout Bayesian, ‘and you will meet people who will tell you that
Bayes is more important than Marx and Einstein put together.’

For a quarter of a millennium Bayes’s theorem, or Bayes’s rule as it is
sometimes called, enjoyed a limited and mostly discredited role in
statistical mathematics. Recently, however, with the advent of cheap and
available computers, its influence has rapidly spread beyond the dull
grind of statistics to become something akin to a philosophical
movement, with an almost theological appeal. Yet it’s not a system of
belief so much as a means of measuring belief.’ Telegraph
