Bayesian analysis is one of the topics included in the subject "Environmental Risk Analysis" taught at the Faculty of Agronomy of the University of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Traditionally, we use a ...

In this section, we'll take a little time to "get our math on" with some basic probability. You're going to start with some basic set theory and look at how to operate on related sets using Python.

The probability that a tennis player wins the first set of a match is \(\frac{3}{5}\). If she wins the first set, the probability that she wins the second set is \(\frac{9}{10}\). If she loses the ...

Conditional probability occurs when it is given that something has happened. (Hint: look for the word “given” in the question. The probability that a tennis player wins the first set of a match is ...

We elaborate on an alternative representation of conditional probability to the usual tree diagram. We term the representation “turtleback diagram” for its resemblance to the pattern on turtle shells.

This course focuses on probability theory, with the view of probability distributors as models for phenomena with statistical regularity. 1. Discrete distributions (binomial, hypergeometric, and ...
