If we observe data on the event modelled by a Bernoulli distribution, we could be interested in finding a posterior distribution over the latent parameter to it. If we use a conjugate prior, this posterior has a closed-form solution. Here are the notes: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Cey...

The Bernoulli distribution is actually one of these rare cases in which we can actually express all associated distributions: The marginal, the posterior and the predictive posterior. Other more sophisticated distributions do not allow for this since we there run into the trouble of intractability when applying Bayes' rule.
