At Its Simplest, Bayes’s Theorem Describes The Probability Of An Event, Based On Prior Knowledge Of Conditions That Might Be Related To The Event. But In Everything Is Predictable, Tom Chivers Lays Out How It Affects Every Aspect Of Our Lives. He Explains Why Highly Accurate Screening Tests Can Lead To False Positives And How A Failure To Account For It In Court Has Put Innocent People In Jail. A Cornerstone Of Rational Thought, Many Argue That Bayes’s Theorem Is A Description Of Almost Everything. But Who Was The Man Who Lent His Name To This Theorem? How Did An 18th-century Presbyterian Minister And Amateur Mathematician Uncover A Theorem That Would Affect Fields As Diverse As Medicine, Law, And Artificial Intelligence? Fusing Biography, Razor-sharp Science Writing, And Intellectual History, Everything Is Predictable Is An Entertaining Tour Of Bayes’s Theorem And Its Impact On Modern Life, Showing How A Single Compelling Idea Can Have Far Reaching Consequences.
