Bayes' theorem n. a theorem expressing the probability of one of a number of mutually exclusive events Hi, given some other event E, in terms of the probabilities of all the Hi independently of E and the probabilities of E given each Hi.

Todhunter Hist. Math. Theory Probability xiv. 299 Lubbock and Drinkwater think that Bayes, or perhaps rather Price, confounded the probability given by Bayes's theorem with the probability given by the result just taken from Laplace. 1907 London, Edinb. & Dublin Philos.

A. 222 324 The result, the datum, and the postulate implied by the scholium, have all been somewhat loosely spoken of as Bayes' Theorem. 1943 M. G. Kendall Adv. Theory Statistics I. vii. 179 A further difficulty arises if θ can lie in an infinite range, for then Bayes' postulate apparently leads to the conclusion that prior probabilities in any finite range are zero and hence so are posterior probabilities. 1967 E. U. Condon & H. Odishaw Handbk. Physics (ed. 2) i. xii. 164/2 Bayes' theorem is the cornerstone of inverse probability, a precise form of inductive inference that seeks to reason from observed events to the probabilities of the various hypotheses that may explain them. 1970 Nature 12 Sept. 1172/2 Empirical Bayes methods have been hailed as one of the major advances in modern statistics. 1985 Brit.
