Nowadays, the availability of huge computing facilities makes it easy to adopt a complex algorithm for various problem-solving. As a result, the Bayesian method of parameter estimation, which is based on Bayes’ theorem given by Thomas Bayes, gains its popularity in recent times. Time series modeling and forecasting is an important aspect of modeling. Model performance and forecasting accuracy can be improved largely using a Bayesian approach. In this article, some basic knowledge about Bayesian inference in time series has been discussed.
