distribution, the binomial distribution and other probability

In essentially all the Machine Learning
algorithms we have studied, our focus has been on a so-called
_frequentist approach_, where knowledge of an underlying likelihood
function has not been emphasized. Our data, whether we had a classification or a regression problem, have been our central points of departure.

Here we wish to merge this approach with the derivation of a likelihood function which can be used to make prediction on how our system under study evolves.
We will venture into the realm of what is called Bayesian Neural Networks. To get an overarching view on what this entails, the following figure conveys the essential differences between a standard Neural network that we have met earlier and a Bayesian Neural Network. In order to get there, we need to present some of the basic elements of Bayesian statistics, starting with the product rule and Bayes' theorem.
