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
