Preferred term

Bayesian statistics  

Definition

  • Bayes's theorem is often used in decision analysis, so it would be natural to think that Bayesian analysis is a generic term to describe decision analyses using the Bayes's theorem. On the contrary, Bayesian analysis refers to a school of thought in statistical analysis. [Source: Encyclopedia of Medical Decision Making; Bayesian Analysis]
