I’ve seen dozens of Bayes Binary Sensor explanations. As both a programmer and a statistics professor, they all give me the shivers. There are explanations out these that are wrong both from a math & statistics perspective and from a programming & implementation perspective.
So, here is the definitive explanation. Grab some coffee, and lets get down to brass-stats.
Weaved within the post is how I think about setting the values for these sensors (from a real stats perspective). Knowing how the …
