Bayesian statistics

Bayesian Statistics is a way of using math to help us make decisions, especially when we have incomplete information (or lack certainty). It uses something called probability, which is the chance that something is true. For example, when you flip a coin, there is a 50% chance of it landing on heads or tails. Bayesian Statistics combines probability and data to create a calculation for what the result of a situation will be. It's like using your own gut feeling, but backed up by math!
