Sentence examples for probabilities of course from inspiring English sources

(No doubt such events would be assigned very low probabilities; but of course we don't need quantum mechanics to know that such events are improbable).

A probability is, of course, a statement of uncertainty: "We predict the weather will most often be X, sometimes be Y, and occasionally be Z".

This probability depends of course on the number of fundamental monomial functions actually contained in f.

Probabilities of different courses can be represented in the form of conditional probability and are defined in Table 1.

She describes, for instance, how small children's grasp of "counterfactual" situations enables them to calculate the probabilities of alternative courses of action.

This probability, pND, is of course dependent on the sensitivity probabilities of each test, which were assumed to be independent.

Those models were then brought together by the National Hurricane Center to show a cone of probability of the course of the storm and the strength of its winds in the days to come.

Likewise, the posterior conditional probability of normal course is (4) P (N | x ) = 1 − P (M | x ) = p (x | N ) P (N ) p (x | M ) P (M ) + p (x | N ) P (N ) A reasonable discrimination criterion would be to assign patient x to the class with the largest posterior probability, thus obtaining the Bayes decision rule for minimum error [ 33].

Similarly, the posterior conditional probability of normal course is as follows: A reasonable discrimination criterion would be to assign patient x to the population with the largest posterior probability, but the decision rule can also be chosen using somewhat different reasoning [ 17].

Since the questionnaires were given to individuals undertaking the valuation who were already consumers of the treatment in question (i.e. were receiving parenteral antimicrobials when enrolled) and thus the primary uncertainty at the time of the questionnaire was the probability of treatment course outcomes, an ex-post perspective was adopted [ 15, 16].
