"Bayesian" refers to the 18th century statistician Thomas Bayes (1702–1761), who provided an early, mathematically incomplete treatment of a problem in Bayesian inference. all the functions of the parameters are distributed. In other words, a posterior distribution is obtained for functions such as reliability and failure rate, instead of point estimate as in classical statistics. Therefore, in order to obtain a point estimate for these functions, a point on the posterior distributions needs to be calculated. Again, the expected value (mean) or median value are used.
