	Revising opinions in statistics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A statistical model for the data generating process is assumed.
		The researcher describes his opinion of a prior distribution for the unknown parameters of the model.
		The data is then observed, and with the likelihood function of the observed data and the probabilistic description of his opinion, the researcher can calculate (using Bayes' theorem) the appropriate opinion consistent with both sources of information.

	Bayes' theorem (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-29)
		In the context of Bayesian probability theory and statistical inference, the marginal probability distribution of A alone is usually called the prior probability distribution or simply the prior.
		The conditional distribution of A given the "data" B is called the posterior probability distribution or just the posterior.
		The prior probability that more than half the voters will vote "yes" is 1/2, by the symmetry of the uniform distribution.

	Bayes' Theorem
		Subjectivists, who maintain that rational belief is governed by the laws of probability, lean heavily on conditional probabilities in their theories of evidence and their models of empirical learning.
		Subjectivists think of learning as a process of belief revision in which a "prior" subjective probability P is replaced by a "posterior" probability Q that incorporates newly acquired information.
		Subjectivists approach the latter problem by assuming that the agent is justified in adopting whatever eligible posterior departs minimally from her prior opinions.

	Voter Turnout
		Statistics on voter turnout presented here show that the much-lamented decline in voter participation is an artifact of the way in which it is measured.
		The most typical way to calculate the turnout rate is to divide the number of votes by what is called the "voting-age population" which consists of everyone age 18 and older residing in the United States.

		Statistics is a science of making decisions with respect to the characteristics of a group of persons or objects on the basis of numerical information obtained from a randomly selected sample of the group.
		There are many statistical procedures for determining, on the basis of a sample, whether the true population characteristic belongs to the set of values in the hypothesis or the alternative.
		Almost all standard statistical analyses are conditioned on the assumption that the population is homogeneous, meaning that its density (for continuous random variables) or probability mass function (for discrete random variables) is unimodal.

	Suggestions for Revising Applications
		Acceptance of a revised application automatically withdraws the prior version, since two versions of the same application cannot be simultaneously pending.
		If the application is or appears to be a revision of a previous one, the reviewers will receive a copy of the previous application and the summary statement as background material.
		A revised application should not be submitted before the summary statement is received because changes should be made in response to the criticisms indicated.
