Credible interval
text:
In Bayesian statistics, a credible interval is an interval used to characterize a probability distribution. It is defined such that an unobserved parameter value has a particular probability α to fall within it. For example, in an experiment that determines the distribution of possible values of the parameter μ, if the probability that μ lies between 35 and 45 is α = 0.95, then 35 ≤ μ ≤ 45 is a 95% credible interval. Credible intervals are typically used to characterize posterior probability dis
