Overview:
In probability theory and statistics, Bayes' theorem (alternatively Bayes' law or Bayes' rule), named after Thomas Bayes, describes the probability of an event, based on prior knowledge of conditions that might be related to the event.

The "Bayesian Trend Indicator" is a sophisticated technical analysis tool designed to assess the direction of price trends in financial markets. It combines the principles of Bayesian probability theory with moving average analysis to provide traders with a comprehensive understanding of market sentiment and potential trend reversals.

At its core, the indicator utilizes multiple moving averages, including the Exponential Moving Average (EMA), Simple Moving Average (SMA), Double Exponential Moving Average (DEMA), and Volume Weighted Moving Average (VWMA). These moving averages are calculated based on user-defined parameters such as length and gap length, allowing traders to customize the indicator to suit their trading strategies and preferences.

is there a scan for color/trend change? (from red to green or green to red)

There is no color/trend change. This script works on a gradient of color.
With various shades of orange, pink, purple before changing completely over from red to green or green to red.

However, there are these cyan and magenta wedges in the script; which signal that the probabilities are over or under 50%. A review of wedge-portion of the study:
Ruby:
#// Signals
def sigUp = (posterior_up Crosses Above 0.5);
def sigDn = (posterior_up Crosses Below 0.5);

plot probUp = if sigUp then low else na;
plot probDn = if sigDn then high else na;
probUp.SetLineWeight(2);
probDn.SetLineWeight(2);
probUp.SetDefaultColor(Color.CYAN);
probDn.SetDefaultColor(Color.MAGENTA);
probUp.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.BOOLEAN_WEDGE_DOWN);
probDn.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.BOOLEAN_WEDGE_UP);

To scan on the probabilities, your filters would be:
probUP is true
or
probDN is true
