What is the probability that the next man we meet will be taller than 180 centimeters?
Family: gaussian
Links: mu = identity; sigma = identity
Formula: height ~ 1
Data: ch5 (Number of observations: 3658)
Draws: 4 chains, each with iter = 2000; warmup = 1000; thin = 1;
total post-warmup draws = 4000
Regression Coefficients:
Estimate Est.Error l-95% CI u-95% CI Rhat Bulk_ESS Tail_ESS
Intercept 175.87 0.12 175.63 176.10 1.00 3936 2865
Further Distributional Parameters:
Estimate Est.Error l-95% CI u-95% CI Rhat Bulk_ESS Tail_ESS
sigma 7.48 0.09 7.31 7.66 1.00 3769 2573
Draws were sampled using sampling(NUTS). For each parameter, Bulk_ESS
and Tail_ESS are effective sample size measures, and Rhat is the potential
scale reduction factor on split chains (at convergence, Rhat = 1).

I used the nhanes data and examined validity, stability, representativeness, and unconfoundedness. I also created a histogram plot of all the heights of adult males. One problem is that the measuring techniques might be unknown. I then created a bayesian regression model. Then I used that model to add multiple draws and then calculate the proportion of draws that were taller than 180 centimeters. The question is : what is the probability that the next man we meet will be taller than 180 centimeters?
