    BIG members,

    Wanted to share another interesting resource I found (it's from spring of 2024 with an update from last summer) that's great for anyone wanting to get an overview: "Everything is Predictable. How Bayesian Statistics Explain Our World" by Tom Chivers.  

    Everything Is Predictable: How Bayesian Statistics Explain Our World: Chivers, Tom: 9781668052631: Amazon.com: Books 

    Chapter 3 is a useful walk-through of Bayesian Decision Theory for those unfamiliar with it.  Granted, Chivers is unnecessarily opinionated (at times to a fault - some things he says will make you cringe).  However, he does put it all together in one accessible book - which is valuable.
