Open ManishVarma4 opened this issue 7 months ago • 0 comments

Summary

This pull request addresses issue #800 by improving the clarity of a confusing sentence in the History of Machine Learning page, under the section Notable discoveries.

Original sentence:

"1763, 1812 and its predecessors. This theorem and its applications underlie inference, describing the probability of an event occurring based on prior knowledge."

Suggested improved sentence:

"Bayes' Theorem, first published in 1763 and later refined by Pierre-Simon Laplace in 1812, underlies statistical inference by describing how to update the probability of an event based on prior knowledge and new evidence."


Changes made:

  • Updated the confusing sentence for clarity and accuracy
  • Improved the explanation of Bayes' Theorem in the context of machine learning history

Please review and let me know if any further improvements are needed. Thanks!
