Possibly similar to #145, although the formula in question there is displayed. For me, I cannot see the Baye's theorem formula that should be between the paragraphs below. This is on Chromium 30.0.1599.114 Ubuntu 13.10 and Firefox 25.0 also on Ubuntu 13.04. I get the same problem viewing it on the default web browser on my old ghetto android phone.


Secondly, we observe our evidence. To continue our buggy-code example: if our code passes X tests, we want to update our belief to incorporate this. We call this new belief the posterior probability. Updating our belief is done via the following equation, known as Bayes' Theorem, after its discoverer Thomas Bayes:

The above formula is not unique to Bayesian inference: it is a mathematical fact with uses outside Bayesian inference. Bayesian inference merely uses it to connect prior probabilities P(A) with an updated posterior probabilities P(A|X).
