Bayesian estimation

Bayesian estimation

In the Bayesian estimation framework, the parameters we want to estimate are considered to be random and every prior information we may know about them is modeled as a probability distribution function referred as prior distribution. The collected data also have information about these parameters and are represented by the likelihood distribution. Bayesian estimation performs a trade-off between both sources of information by calculating a new probability distribution called posterior distribution which is the update of our prior distribution using the data (likelihood).
