As a new member to this newsgroup I wonder if there is any body out there that can help me with a probability problem that is part bayesian part conventional. The problem being to calculate the probability of two or more events that are not independent of each other or mutually exclusive. For example what is the probability of my passing a degree based on previous student records, in which I simultaneously belong to several event classes age, ethnicity, gender etc. all of which have their own statistics.
In mathematical terms There exist the individual probabilities of: P(A/B) P(A/C) P(A/D) Thus what is the probability of P(A/B and C and D) ? . . ================================================================= Instructions for joining and leaving this list, remarks about the problem of INAPPROPRIATE MESSAGES, and archives are available at: . http://jse.stat.ncsu.edu/ . =================================================================
