Definitions of bayes' theorem words
- noun bayes' theorem the fundamental result which expresses the conditional probability P(E/A) of an event E given an event A as P(A/E).P(E)/P(A); more generally, where En is one of a set of values Ei which partition the sample space, P(En/A) = P(A/En)P(En)/Σ P(A/Ei)P(Ei). This enables prior estimates of probability to be continually revised in the light of observations 3
- noun bayes' theorem a theorem describing how the conditional probability of each of a set of possible causes, given an observed outcome, can be computed from knowledge of the probability of each cause and of the conditional probability of the outcome, given each cause. 1
- noun bayes' theorem A theorem which states that an already-known unconditioned probability (the "prior") of some target event can be multiplied by a "likelihood ratio" — the conditional probability of a certain factor event (given the prior) divided by the marginal probability of that factor — in order to obtain the ("posterior", i.e., the) conditional probability of the target given the factor. 0
