  2. Conditioning (probability) - Wikipedia

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

    On the discrete level, conditioning is possible only if the condition is of nonzero probability (one cannot divide by zero). On the level of densities, conditioning on X = x is possible even though P ( X = x) = 0. This success may create the illusion that conditioning is always possible. Regretfully, it is not, for several reasons presented below.

  3. Conditional probability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conditional_probability

    Here, in the earlier notation for the definition of conditional probability, the conditioning event B is that D 1 + D 2 ≤ 5, and the event A is D 1 = 2. We have () = () = / / =, as seen in the table.

  4. Conditional probability distribution - Wikipedia

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

    Given two jointly distributed random variables and , the conditional probability distribution of given is the probability distribution of when is known to be a particular value; in some cases the conditional probabilities may be expressed as functions containing the unspecified value of as a parameter.

  5. Regular conditional probability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Regular_conditional_probability

    In probability theory, regular conditional probability is a concept that formalizes the notion of conditioning on the outcome of a random variable. The resulting conditional probability distribution is a parametrized family of probability measures called a Markov kernel .

  6. Conditional expectation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conditional_expectation

    In probability theory, the conditional expectation, conditional expected value, or conditional mean of a random variable is its expected value evaluated with respect to the conditional probability distribution. If the random variable can take on only a finite number of values, the "conditions" are that the variable can only take on a subset of ...

  7. Method of conditional probabilities - Wikipedia

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

    the conditional probability of failure, given the current state, is less than 1. In this way, it is guaranteed to arrive at a leaf with label 0, that is, a successful outcome. The invariant holds initially (at the root), because the original proof showed that the (unconditioned) probability of failure is less than 1.

  9. Bayes' theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayes'_theorem

    This combined with the definition of conditional probability results in the above statement. In other words, if someone tests positive, the probability that they are a cannabis user is only 19%—because in this group, only 5% of people are users, and most positives are false positives coming from the remaining 95%.
