A visual introduction to Bayes' theorem and machine learning
Bayes' Theorem
P(A|B)=\frac{P(A)P(B|A)}{P(B)}
P(🌧|☁)=\frac{P(🌧)P(☁|🌧)}{P(☁)}
P(A|B)=\frac{0.1\cdot 0.9}{0.5}=0.18
Bayes' Theorem
\frac{P(🌧)P(☁|🌧)}{P(☁)}=\frac{P(🌧)P(☁|🌧)}{P(🌧)P(☁|🌧)+P(\neg🌧)P(☁|\neg🌧)}
P(🌧)
P(☁|🌧)
P(\neg🌧)=P(☀)
P(☁|\neg🌧)=P(☁|☀)

K-means
P(A|B)=\frac{P(A)P(B|A)}{P(B)}
What is the probability that a point k belongs to cluster C, given that C is in the location (x,y) ?
