== Bayesian statistics == {{see also|Posterior predictive distribution}} [[Seymour Geisser]], a proponent of predictive inference, gives predictive applications of [[Bayesian statistics]].<ref>{{Harvtxt|Geisser|1993}}</ref> In Bayesian statistics, one can compute (Bayesian) prediction intervals from the [[posterior probability]] of the random variable, as a [[credible interval]]. In theoretical work, credible intervals are not often calculated for the prediction of future events, but for inference of parameters β i.e., credible intervals of a parameter, not for the outcomes of the variable itself. However, particularly where applications are concerned with possible extreme values of yet to be observed cases, credible intervals for such values can be of practical importance.
