I hate English's articles

[aha123]

English's articles are damned difficult to get it right!

Here is my writing. I am not sure if I am correct for articles use around the words highlighted with red. Correction for other errors is welcomed.


Bayesian approach is a different statistical school of inference than that of frequentist approach. Bayesian approach starts with a prior belief about a parameter of interest and then updates this belief as more evidence/data is collected. Such approach is well suited for sequential test settings.
Here we focus on how to use Bayesian approach for conversion rate A/B tests. It can be easily extended to other metrics. Data from conversion rate tests can be modeled as a binomial sequence with parameter p can be expressed as Beta(a, b). After N samples with S successes are collected from the test, the updated belief about p can be expressed by a posterior probability distribution. Using Bayes theorem, it can be proved that this posterior probability distribution for p equals to Beta(S+a,N−S+b). Therefore, throughout the test, we only need to keep track of 2 numbers, N and S, to update the posterior probability distribution of p for a binomial data sequence.

Statistics (The Baysian approach)

Try:

The Baysian approach is a different statistical school of inference than the frequentist approach. The Baysian approach starts with a prior belief about a parameter of interest and then updates that belief as more data is collected.

That's all for now. It's my bedtime. (If you think English articles are hard to learn, try German. They have 16 of them.)

Chinese has no articles, no tense, no gender... much easier than European languages.

Re: Statistics (The Baysian approach)

Say:

Such an approach is well-suited for sequential settings.

Re: Statistics (The Baysian approach)

Next paragraph. Say:

Here we focus on how to use the Baysian approach ....

Next. Try:

Data from conversion rate tests can be modeled as a binomial sequence with parameter p expressed as Beta (a,b).

I think there are too many cans in the original.

(I am willing to be proven wrong.)

Including the writing? ;-)

Re: Statistics (The Baysian approach)

PS Such an approach.

Statistics (The Baysian approach)

I would say equals rather than equals to.

There is an error in the first sentence of the post. Can you find it?

Thanks for the correction! Are there any errors in the rest part of my paragraph?

Re: Statistics (The Baysian approach)

It should probably be:

the Bayes theorem

Or:

Bayes' theorem.

English articles are hard to get right. They are a pain in the neck.
