La probabilité postérieure est celle qui est calculée sur la base de données déjà connues après un processus ou une expérience. La probabilité a posteriori est donc celle qui n'est pas estimée sur la base de conjectures ou de connaissances a priori concernant la distribution d'une probabilité, comme dans la probabilité a priori. 1, record 1, French, - probabilit%C3%A9%20post%C3%A9rieure

A partir de las probabilidades a priori y la información adicional producto de una muestra, la fórmula de Bayes permite obtener las probabilidades revisadas o a posteriori. 2, record 1, Spanish, - probabilidad%20posterior
