The Royal Institution | Making Bayesian statistics fun - With Sophie Carr at Ada Lovelace Day @TheRoyalInstitution | Uploaded 7 months ago | Updated 3 hours ago
Within each of us lies a superpower: a tool that can transform our discomfort into confidence if we only acknowledge that hidden within us is a statistician trying to get out.
Embrace the realm of Bayesian statistics, where uncertainty becomes a playground for the curious mind. We all grapple with the unknown everyday of our lives – from mundane to life changing decisions – and we evolve our decisions as information becomes available to us that reshapes our understanding of the world.

Dr Sophie Carr is the founder and director of Bays Consulting. Sophie’s first love was Lego, then aeroplanes and her career followed suit. She trained as an engineer and whilst working full time took a PhD in bayesian belief networks and has worked in data analytics ever since. Or to put it another way, Sophie has made a living out of finding patterns. Outside of work, Sophie is the vice president for education and statistical literacy at the Royal Statistical Society and the World’s Most Interesting Mathematician.
