“Of all of equations on the list, Bayes’ Theorem may stand out on its own merits as being one of the most recognizable and it might even qualify as a poster child for the statistical revolution sweeping our industry. It rose from obscurity to being used for spam detection and with such applications as classifiers, Machine Learning, Data Mining and more. Mathematically it is part of a rift in statistics and probability and I confess I may not yet call myself “an initiate of the bayesian conspiracy” but it hard to deny its utility plus there seems to be a more axiomatic basis that relates to Boolean Logic Set Theory, which makes it all the more alluring.” - Geoff Moes
