Abstract

The recent computational revolution of Bayesian statistics has expanded use of the Bayesian statistics significantly; however, Bayesian statistics face a new set of challenges in the era of information technology. We survey the history of Bayesian statistics briefly and its expansion in the modern times. We then take a prospective future view of statistics and list challenges that the statistics community faces.

최근 계산 기술의 진보로 인하여, 베이지안 통계는 급속도로 확산되어 가고 있다. 그러나, 정보화 시대에 들어서면서 베이지안 통계를 비롯한 통계학은 새로운 문제들에 직면하게 되었다. 이 논문에서는 베이지안 통계의 역사를 간단히 살펴보고, 베이지안 통계의 현재의 영향력에 대해서 알아본다. 그리고 통계학의 미래와 통계학계가 직면한 도전과제들에 대하여 생각해 볼 것이다.
