Bayesian Confirmation Theory is a formal framework within confirmation theory that uses Bayesian probability to quantify the degree to which evidence supports or confirms a hypothesis, distinguishing itself from other confirmation frameworks by its reliance on subjective probabilities, conditionalization, and the application of Bayes’s theorem to model rational belief updating.
