- Why "naive Bayes" is not Bayesian Explains why the so-called “naive Bayes” classifier is not Bayesian. The setup is okay, but estimating probabilities by doing relative frequencies instead of using Dirichlet conjugate priors or integration strays from The Path.

“To stay below 2 °C of warming, the world must become carbon negative.”
Originally posted on Azimuth:
guest post by Steve Easterbrook (7) To stay below 2 °C of warming, the world must become carbon negative. Only one of the four future scenarios (RCP2.6) shows us staying below the UN’s commitment to no…
