  2. Conditional probability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conditional_probability

    Given two events A and B from the sigma-field of a probability space, with the unconditional probability of B being greater than zero (i.e., P(B) > 0), the conditional probability of A given B (()) is the probability of A occurring if B has or is assumed to have happened. [5]

  3. Chain rule (probability) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chain_rule_(probability)

    In probability theory, the chain rule [1] (also called the general product rule [2] [3]) describes how to calculate the probability of the intersection of, not necessarily independent, events or the joint distribution of random variables respectively, using conditional probabilities.

  4. Bayes' theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayes'_theorem

    P(A) is the proportion of outcomes with property A (the prior) and P(B) is the proportion with property B. P(B | A) is the proportion of outcomes with property B out of outcomes with property A, and P(A | B) is the proportion of those with A out of those with B (the posterior). The role of Bayes' theorem can be shown with tree diagrams.

  5. Method of conditional probabilities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_of_conditional...

    The conditional probability at any interior node is the average of the conditional probabilities of its children. The latter property is important because it implies that any interior node whose conditional probability is less than 1 has at least one child whose conditional probability is less than 1.

  6. Conditional probability distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conditional_probability...

    Then the unconditional probability that = is 3/6 = 1/2 (since there are six possible rolls of the dice, of which three are even), whereas the probability that = conditional on = is 1/3 (since there are three possible prime number rolls—2, 3, and 5—of which one is even).

  7. Conditioning (probability) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conditioning_(probability)

    In this sense, "the concept of a conditional probability with regard to an isolated hypothesis whose probability equals 0 is inadmissible." (Kolmogorov [6]) The additional input may be (a) a symmetry (invariance group); (b) a sequence of events B n such that B n ↓ B, P ( B n) > 0; (c) a partition containing the given event. Measure-theoretic ...

  8. Conditional event algebra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conditional_event_algebra

    Thus the conditional probability P(B |A) is turned into simple probability P(B → A) by replacing Ω, the sample space of all ordinary outcomes, with Ω*, the sample space of all sequences of ordinary outcomes, and by identifying conditional event A → B with the set of sequences where the first (A ∧ B)-outcome comes before the first (A ∧ ...

  9. Conditional independence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conditional_independence

    In probability theory, conditional independence describes situations wherein an observation is irrelevant or redundant when evaluating the certainty of a hypothesis. . Conditional independence is usually formulated in terms of conditional probability, as a special case where the probability of the hypothesis given the uninformative observation is equal to the probability
