Probabilistic Reasoning

A formal framework for reasoning under uncertainty using probability theory and related formalisms. Covers the full spectrum from foundational Bayesian inference through Monte Carlo simulation, decision theory, and risk assessment — enabling robust decision-making when information is incomplete or noisy.

Sub-Skills

1. Bayesian Inference — Updating beliefs with evidence via Bayes' theorem
2. Uncertainty Quantification — Systematic characterization of uncertainty
3. Monte Carlo Methods — Random sampling for approximate inference
4. Probability Distributions — Key families and their applications
5. Decision Theory — Optimal decision-making under uncertainty
6. Risk Assessment — Evaluating likelihood and consequences of adverse events
7. Statistical Thinking — Core principles for understanding variability and inference
