Sentence examples for constant likelihood from inspiring English sources

Even though the war has ended, the characters are still living with the constant likelihood of sudden death, particularly from the hidden explosives or mines that the retreating Germans left behind.

If you would prefer a weaker government with the constant likelihood of gridlock between the two chambers, in which the Government could no longer simply draw up a legislative programme and tell the Whips to deliver it: in which there was constant recourse to cajoling and compromise – support reform.

We chose a model compatible with both antigens which assumed that the SCR in Same changed 10 years previously, which had a significantly better fit than the model that assumed the SCR had remained constant (likelihood ratio test for MSP-119 Χ2 = 9.6 p = 0.002 and AMA-1 Χ2 = 45.4 p<0.0001).

Each assumes constant likelihood ratios across the range of pre-test probabilities.

This can be approximated as a sum, Z ≈ ∑ i = 1 N ℓ i W i, where N points are sampled and W i is the proportion of prior mass represented by point i, calculated as the difference between the volume enclosed by the contour of constant likelihood through ℓ i and that through ℓ i − 1. Nested sampling is a method for generating the sequence of points { ℓ i, W i }.

If v ( t ) is constant, this likelihood expression simplifies to − v T + n log v with maximum at v = n / T as discussed above for the constant Poisson process.

This is quite different from the constant hazard likelihood that decreases monotonically.

Assuming precomputed constants, the likelihood calculation requires seven multiplications.

After ignoring the constant, the log likelihood function of all the distance measurements can be written as [15] f x k, y k = ∑ i = 1 N z i, k − d i, k + μ ˜ 2 σ ˜ i 2 (7).

Bayes' theorem formally combines quantifications of one's pre-analysis information (a prior), some base rate criminological and demographic data (a normalizing constant), and a likelihood of obtaining one's evidence.

This is given by (9) where the constant in the likelihood function has been removed.
