Bayesian statistics

Given (i) the probability P(E|H)=likelihood of the evidence E given the hypothesis H, (ii) the prior probability p_hypothesis of hypothesis H, and (iii) the prior probability p_evidence of evidence E, we can calculate the probability P(H|E) of a hypothesis H given the evidence E with:

bayes_theorem(likelihood, p_hypothesis, p_evidence)

Given P(E|H) and P(E|not H), we can calculate the bayes factor:

bayes_factor(p_evidence_given_h, p_evidence_given_not_h)
