I'll call it the 'Leverage Method' of computing posterior probabilities. the posterior probability of h goes up as we acquire observational evidence that confirms about p(e) to attempt to compute the prior probability of h – so a higher value for p(e) values for p(h/e) that Roush computes using the leveraging method – remember that, probability of h, and that is a value that the Leveraging Method purports to do without. Method could not be expected to deliver a reasonable value for the probability that Mary these likelihood terms in the Leveraging Equation to compute a value for p(h). prior probability that Mary has disease D, for we don't know the relative frequency of D ./cache/work_4227zu4yprdtfbvmewzs7apwqq.pdf ./txt/work_4227zu4yprdtfbvmewzs7apwqq.txt
