Which fundamental theorem of probability is used to calculate the posterior probability of a hypothesis given observed evidence?
Show answer
Bayes' Theorem
Bayes' Theorem provides the mathematical framework for Bayesian inference, where beliefs are updated as new data becomes available. In ML, it is the foundation of Naive Bayes classifiers and many probabilistic models.
