According to a Bayesian, your brain can track the probabilities of different possibilities regardless, even when there are no large populations and objective frequencies anywhere to be found, and when you update your beliefs using evidence, you're not "eliminating people from consideration," you're eliminating probability mass from certain possible worlds represented in your own subjective belief state\\.', anchorText: 'your brain can track the probabilities of different possibilities regardless', anchorOffset: '369', mergedInto: '', isDeleted: 'false', viewCount: '1608', text: 'From earlier pages, this will be harder than it initially appears.\n\nSay that, on hearing there was a dagger, the king also ponders what other things an assassin might carry. Poisons, for sure - an assassin would have them like 6:1 odds at least, and a non-assassin would be surely no more than 0.02:1. \n\nListening devices, for spying and stuff. Probably 4:1 and 0.02:1 again.\n\nNaive Bayesian analysis would say that doctors, with their knives and stethoscopes and drugs, would be carrying tools with odds of 9 * 6 * 4 : 1 = 216 : 1 if they were an assassin, and 0.02 * 0.02 * 0.3 = 0.00012 : 1 if they were not.\n\nIt's very easy to forget that "updated odds" are also "updated conditions". The king has not updated his odds of that person being an assassin; they have replaced their odds of "the person" being an assassin, with some new odds of "the person with the knife" being an assassin.\n\nSubsequent odds need to be added in that light.
