We adopt so-called Gödel numbering in order to facilitate self-reference in PA; in particular, for a sentence of PA, S, the numeral of the Gödel number for S, that is the numeral corresponding to the encoding of ‘S’, is denoted pSq.

Bayesian inference
Bayesian inference is a method of statistical inference in which Bayes' theorem is used to update the probability for a hypothesis as evidence is acquired. Bayesian inference is an important technique in statistics, and especially in mathematical statistics. Bayesian updating is particularly important in the dynamic analysis of a sequence of data. Bayesian inference has found application in a wide range of activities, including science, engineering, philosophy, medicine, and law. In the philosophy of decision theory, Bayesian inference is closely related to subjective probability, often called ""Bayesian probability"".
