Concept

Posterior

The posterior is the distribution over unknown quantities after you condition on observed data. Formally it is p(z | x): the probability of latent variable or parameter z given the data x.

The rest of “Posterior” is a premium feature: every concept in the library gets a precise, practitioner-focused write-up like this one, cross-linked straight from the paper summaries that use it.
