Shouldn't that be "the probability of seeing the data, _given_ that the hypothesis is correct" and "the probability of the hypothesis being correct, _given_ that the data has been observed"?
- nonbel 9y agoNo, the other poster is referring to Bayes' rule P(A|B) = P(A)*P(B|A)/P(B). The claim is that it is reasonable to assume P(A) ~ P(B), so that P(A|B) ~ P(B|A). I am referring to P(A) and P(B) in the equation.
- Bromskloss 9y agoAh, OK, got it.
- nonbel 9y agoIts hard to tell over the internet, but if you are being sarcastic please let me know. I have no problem with clarifying further.
- Bromskloss 9y agoNo sarcasm! I believe I understand what you were saying now.
