Bayesian inference is a method of statistical inference based on Bayes' Theorem.
The unknowns to be estimated are assumed to have a prior probability distribution.
Using Bayes' Theorem, this is combined with the information from observed data expressed in terms of the likelihood of forming a posterior probability distribution for the unknowns.
As and when further data become available, the posterior distribution may be used as a prior distribution for further analysis.
