- Bayes factor
- Bayesian average
- Bayesian spam filtering
- Bayesian game

- Bayesian information criterion
- Bayesian multivariate linear regression
- Bayesian linear regression, a special case
- Bayesian network
- Empirical Bayes method
- Naive Bayes classifier
- Bayesian additive regression kernels
- Bayesian econometrics
- Bayesian experimental design
- Bayesian inference in phylogeny
- Bayesian search theory
- Bayesian vector autoregression
Bayesian also refers to the application of this probability theory to the functioning of the brain
