This mathematician is the namesake of both a directed acyclic graphical model that can be used in medical diagnosis and a method of inference used to determine how well a variety of hypotheses align with experimental results leading to a posterior probability distribution.
This mathematician is the namesake of both a directed acyclic graphical model that can be used in medical diagnosis and a method of inference used to determine how well a variety of hypotheses align with experimental results leading to a posterior probability distribution. His namesake theorem shows why a small number of false positives can cast a strong doubt on all positive results and can be derived using either a Venn diagram showing the four possible regions created by two dependent events or by a tree diagram with four terminal nodes. Name this mathematician who in a posthumously published paper designed a theorem expressing the probability of A given B in terms of the probabilities of A, B, and B given A.
