Probability Notation Review
• Prior (unconditional) probability is before evidence is obtained, after is posterior or conditional probability
• P(A) – Prior – only valid when no other info is available• Random variable P(X=pizza), X has a domain <x1, x2,…> and P(xi)=1 (note that variables
are by convention in caps in probability theory)• Probability distribution – P(X) vector (for discrete vars) of probabilities of domain of X.
Sums to 1.• Can use standard connectives, i.e. P(A B)• P(A|B) – conditional probability – probability of A given B• As soon as we know C we should use P(A|B C)• P(A|B) = P(A B)/P(B)• Product rule: P(A B) = P(A|B)P(B) = P(B|A)P(A)• P(A B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A B) – venn diagram• P(A) + P(!A) = 1• Joint probability table (JPT): Table that shows all of the probabilities for all possible
events

Independence Disadvantages of the Joint
o Way (way) too big o Hard to gather good stats for
Solution: conditional independence
