  1. bayes' postulate

    Bayes' postulate, also known as Bayes' theorem, is a fundamental principle in probability theory and statistics. It describes the relationship between the conditional and marginal probabilities of two random events and provides a method for updating probability predictions. The theorem postulates that one can update predictions about a hypothesis in light of new evidence by computing an adjustment factor, which is derived from the likelihood of observing the evidence given the hypothesis and prior information. These updated predictions are known as posterior probabilities.
