Preferred term

prior probability  

Definition

  • A certain kind of PROBABILISTIC reasoning uses the observed data to update probabilities that existed before the data were collected, the so-called prior probabilities. This approach is called BAYESIAN INFERENCE and is in sharp contrast to the other existing approach, which is called frequentist.
