Basic Bayesian methods.

In this chapter, we introduce the basics of Bayesian data analysis. The key ingredients to a Bayesian analysis are the likelihood function, which reflects information about the parameters contained in the data, and the prior distribution, which quantifies what is known about the parameters before observing data. The prior distribution and likelihood can be easily combined to from the posterior ...

It is primarily directed at those wishing to do photomicrography with cameras they might already own and use for general photography. It does not deal at all with dedicated microscope cameras. A more detailed look at the necessary sensor speci...
