Event F1 , F2……Fn |
They are called hypothesis |
P(F1) …… P(F2) |
These probabilities are called priori probabilities as they exist before we obtain any information from experiment |
P( E/F1) ……. P(E/Fn) |
These probabilities are called likelihood probabilities as they tell us how event A under consideration occurs |
P(F1/E) …. P(Fn/E) |
These probabilities are called the posterior probabilities as they are determined after the result of the experiment is known |
