Bayesian evaluation for the likelihood of Christ's resurrection (edit 88)

I'm continuing to work on editing Bayesian evaluation for the likelihood of Christ's resurrection.

I've made some changes towards the "x = " vs. "x > " change, and also made some clarification on probabilities vs. odds.

Bayesian evaluation for the likelihood of Christ's resurrection (edit 87)

I'm continuing to work on editing Bayesian evaluation for the likelihood of Christ's resurrection.

I've pretty much decided on switching to the "x = " arguments, instead of going with the "x > " form. I think it'll be cleaner, with less back-and-forth and explaining of the various subtleties. As a bonus I may get a chance to explain the difference between Bayesian and frequentist approaches to problems like this.

I've made some changes to the text to reflect this, and started editing the jupyter notebooks. But things will be a bit messy for now.

Bayesian evaluation for the likelihood of Christ's resurrection (edit 86)

I'm continuing to work on editing Bayesian evaluation for the likelihood of Christ's resurrection.

I added a graph to the section on "Assigning numerical x values". I'm also considering a fairly major restructuring, to do the Bayes factor at x = instead of x > 6 from the beginning.
