Bayes posteriograms
$begingroup$
My main objective is to predict the posterior probability of an individual belonging to one of the classes, using Bayes theorem. The information I have is:
- value of the data point
- mean and stdev of the 2 potential
populations, that this data point could belong to (=the potential
classes - normal distributions drawn on those 2 classes
I'm using numpy to create a probability distribution over a given mean and stdev. Let's say that this distribution represents the average weight of a population. I have drawn distributions of the weights of 2 populations, such that the means differ considerably.
- G1 = scipy.stats.norm(50, 1)
- G2 = scipy.stats.norm(100,2)
I have a data point, suppose A = weight of one single individual. If I get probability of 'a' on one of the curves, using:
- weightofA = 45 kg
- probA_G1 = G1.pdf(weightofA)
what would this probability be?
The likelihood or the posterior? If it's the likelihood, how will I get the prior? I only have 1 data point. How will I calculate the marginal, of the gaussians?
Thanks so much!
