```

## ⚡ **Quick Start - See the Power**

### **Bayesian A/B Testing in 5 Lines**
```python
import metricax.bayesian as mb

# Update beliefs with conversion data
control = mb.update_beta_binomial(1, 1, 12, 108)    # 12/120 conversions
treatment = mb.update_beta_binomial(1, 1, 15, 85)   # 15/100 conversions

print(f"Control: {mb.beta_mean(*control):.1%}")     # 10.0%
print(f"Treatment: {mb.beta_mean(*treatment):.1%}") # 15.7%
# Treatment shows 57% relative improvement!
```

### **Information Theory for ML in 3 Lines**
```python
import metricax.info_theory as it

# Compare model predictions to ground truth
true_dist = [0.7, 0.2, 0.1]
model_pred = [0.65, 0.25, 0.1]
loss = it.cross_entropy(true_dist, model_pred)      # 0.087 bits
```

### **Feature Selection with Mutual Information**
```python
# Quantify feature-target dependence
mi = it.mutual_information(joint_dist, feature_dist, target_dist)
if mi > 0.1:  # Strong dependence threshold
    print("Feature is highly informative!")
```
