5. Bayes’ Theorem

Bayes' Theorem serves as a fundamental tool in probability and statistics, facilitating the updating of hypotheses based on new evidence. It is particularly useful in fields such as signal processing and machine learning, while also bridging deterministic models and probabilistic inference related to partial differential equations (PDEs). The theorem's applications extend to real-world problems, highlighting its importance in decision-making under uncertainty.
