What are posterior odds?
Subsequently, one may also ask, how are posterior odds calculated?
In light of the matching evidence (Em), the posterior odds that the search has landed on the person who deposited the DNA at the crime scene, P(H1|Em) / P(H2|Em), are given by: P(H1|Em)P(H2|Em)=P(Em|H1)P(Em|H2) x P(H1)P(H2) .
Also question is, what is a posterior probability in statistics?
A posterior probability, in Bayesian statistics, is the revised or updated probability of an event occurring after taking into consideration new information. In statistical terms, the posterior probability is the probability of event A occurring given that event B has occurred.
Prior: Probability distribution representing knowledge or uncertainty of a data object prior or before observing it. Posterior: Conditional probability distribution representing what parameters are likely after observing the data object. Likelihood: The probability of falling under a specific category or class.
