[edit] death
Britannica gives date of death as 17th April 1761 (Gregorian calendar assumed). Any views on this?
- I'm inclined to consider the Britannica date at least as reliable or more so than the one cited in the article. Feel free to adjust the date to 17th April. Wile E. Heresiarch 02:42, 18 Apr 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Broken Link
The external link about new manuscripts is broken. --24.187.162.243 01:52, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
[edit] image
Someone should contact Steven Stigler at the University of Chicago about that image of Thomas Bayes. I took a class with him several years ago and he mentioned that he was the one who found that image and wasn't 100% sure it truly was a picture of him. Dr. Mandrake.
- See Who is this gentleman? When and where was he born? for discussion from the IMS Bulletin, Vol. 17 (1988), No. 3, pp. 276-278. -- Jheald (talk) 09:26, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Modern Applications
I have removed this section, which if it belongs anywhere, belongs in the article on Bayesian statistics, not here. EdwardLockhart 09:49, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] How was/is the name Bayes pronounced?
I've often seen the question raised in online discussions, and never saw a good answer (nor do I know it myself). A pronunciation footnote would be quite useful on this page.
[edit] game theory
There should be something linking to Harsanyi's Game Theory application of Bayes rule in Bayesian Equilibria
[edit] American?
Why is he listed as an American Presbyterian?
