Inference and inverse problem:
The inverse problem consists of identifying parameters of process based model or a statistical model that might have produced the observed data.
Binomial/Beta distribution
Here we will begin with a simple example of estimating the bias of a coin based on one experiment after N=400 tosses resulting in 200 heads. The probability P(N,r) that will inform the bias (or lack of it ) of the coin is given the binomial/beta distribution
