... Suppose that there are n different parameters from among β1 , β2 , . . . , βr where 1 < n < r. Without loss of generality, one can assume that these different parameters are β1 , β2 , . . . , βn . The components in the sum Sr are grouped with respect to the parameter βi for i = 1, 2, . . . , n. Let ...

What Conditional Probability Also Could Not Be
... Central to Kenny’s paper is the problem of the zero denominator, so we will do well to remind ourselves what the problem is. It arises from the conjunction of two facts. The first fact, familiar from elementary school arithmetic, is that you can’t divide by 0. The second fact is that contingent prop ...

... This is an example of a Hypergeometric random variable. The characteristic is “being red”. The population is the jelly beans in the bag, so N = 10. There are 7 red jelly beans, so M = 7 and N −M = 3. For part 1 we sample 2 elements of the population, so n = 2 and X1 ∼ Hypergeometric(10, 7, 2) and we ...
