credible interval
A credible interval refers to Bayesian statistics where, if the probability of possible values falling into the range is 0.95, this is called a 95% credible interval. Contrast with a ‘confidence interval’ which assumes a fixed parameter. A 95% confidence interval refers to the range where if one does 100 experiments, the true value will fall within calculated confidence intervals 95% of the time.
