A conditional probability distribution of a random variable, to be contrasted with its unconditional or a priori distribution.
Let be a random parameter with an a priori density , let be a random result of observations and let be the conditional density of when ; then the a posteriori distribution of for a given , according to the <a href="../b/b015380.htm">Bayes formula</a>, has the density
