Conditional probability should be taken as the primitive notion, and unconditional probability should be analyzed in terms of it."I'd probably be famous now If I wasn't such a good waitress." Jane Siberry, "Waitress"doi:10.1023/B:SYNT.0000004904.91112.16Alan Hájek...
How does conditional probability differ from unconditional probability? What does probability 1 mean? What is the value of understanding probability? What's the difference between possibility and probability? Define the following: Probability. How would a statistician define probability? What is the proba...
the existing probability to get the new one and discard the prior one, it reveals that its basics are underpinned by the concept of conditional probability determined by the Bayes' theorem. The revised probability depends on a second or new event's conditional and unconditional probability. ...
3. I think my response (1) at least in part replies to Carlos’ question, “what is the definition of “the probability of event A given that event B occurs” then?” To elaborate: I don’t claim that there any isolated definition of “the probability of event A given B”, just as...
is not always equal to the unconditional probability P(B)P(B). The reason behind this is that the occurrence of event AA may provide extra information that can change the probability that event BB occurs. If the knowledge that event AA occurs does not change the probability that event...
When I was about eleven years old, my mother, searching for the kind of unconditional love that a child learns to withhold out of spite, started taking in animals she felt needed rescuing. Its up for debate whether they always genuinely needed rescuing or were in fact kidnapped, but my obs...
Then, the probability of a modal shift to the metro is:(3)PMSY=1=∫expUMS1+expUMSfβi,αjdβi Where, ƒ(βi,αj) is the probability density function of the parameter βi, and α is a vector of the parameters of the density function. Therefore, the unconditional probability is ...
In this paper we revisit an open problem posed by Aldous on the max-entropy win-probability martingale: given two players of equal strength, such that the win-probability is a martingale diffusion, which of these processes has maximum entropy and hence gives the most excitement for the spectator...
Such a claim would follow easily from the Lindelof hypothesis (which would imply that ) but of course we would like to have an unconditional result. At this point, having exhausted all the Dirichlet polynomial estimates that are usefully available, we return to “physical space”. Using some ...
Why is food an unconditional stimulus? What neurotransmitter is important to positive reinforcement? How would one know when the transition has occurred from a neutral stimulus to a conditioned stimulus? What is delayed reinforcement? How does stimulus generalization contribute to our survival?
