About

Ask Bayes is a simple command line tool for performing Bayesian inference. You can save your updates locally to preserve the latest priors for your hypotheses.

Installation

cargo install ask-bayes

Usage

Ask Bayes can be invoked like so:
ask-bayes -n Hypothesis-name -p 0.75 -l 0.75
which will output:

| Likelihood Null       | P(E|¬Hypothesis-name) | 0.5                |
| Marginal Likelihood   | P(E)                  | 0.6875             |
