Function Documentation

addition_rule_dependent()

double addition_rule_dependent	(	double	A,
		double	B,
		double	B_given_A )

Calculates the probability of the events A or B for dependent events note that if value of B_given_A is unknown, use chainrule to find it \parama [in] A probability of event A \parama [in] B probability of event B \parama [in] B_given_A probability of event B condition A

Returns

probability of A and B

    return (A + B) - (A * B_given_A);
}

addition_rule_independent()

double addition_rule_independent	(	double	A,
		double	B )

calculates the probability of the independent events A or B for independent events \parama [in] A probability of event A \parama [in] B probability of event B

Returns

probability of A and B
