Applies Bayes theorem updating probability based on new evidence. Foundation of probabilistic reasoning.

Formule

P(A|B) = P(B|A) × P(A) ÷ P(B)
P
overall probability of evidence — overall probability of evidence
A
likelihood of evidence given A — likelihood of evidence given A
B
overall probability of evidence — overall probability of evidence

Guide étape par étape

  1. 1P(A|B) = P(B|A) × P(A) ÷ P(B)
  2. 2P(A|B) = posterior (updated probability)
  3. 3P(A) = prior probability
  4. 4P(B|A) = likelihood of evidence given A
  5. 5P(B) = overall probability of evidence
