Suppose we know
nothing about coins except that each
|
|
tossing event
produces a head with some unknown
|
|
|
probability p and
a tail with probability 1-p. Our model of
|
|
a coin has one
parameter, p.
|
|
| • |
Suppose we
observe 100 tosses and there are 53
|
|
|
heads. What is p?
|
|
| • |
The
frequentist answer: Pick the
value of p that makes
|
|
|
the observation
of 53 heads and 47 tails most probable.
