Thomas Bayes (/beɪz/ BAYZ; c. 1701 – 7 April 1761) was an English statistician, philosopher and Presbyterian minister who is known for formulating a specific case of the theorem that bears his name: Bayes' theorem.
Bayes never published what would become his most famous accomplishment; his notes were edited and published posthumously by Richard Price.
