What is Empirical Bayes?

Empirical Bayes is a statistical technique that combines group-level and individual-level information to provide more accurate estimates or predictions. In contrast to traditional Bayesian methods, which rely on prior assumptions, EB utilizes existing data to estimate prior distributions.

Why Baseball Statistics?
