Examples of likelihood

• When the joint likelihoods are multiplied, a small transition value is added to each entry.

• By sampling the trained neural network, approximations of likelihoods were obtained for design variable values, and, consequently, constraint satisfaction problemsolving capability was achieved.

• Only the likelihoods associated with the outcomes that actually occurred are used.

• There are all sorts of possible situations which none of us takes seriously as real likelihoods.

• If likelihoods can be calculated for alternative models, then a likelihoodratio test may be used to discriminate between hypotheses.

• In practice, approximate likelihoods may be used to replace full likelihoods that are computationally not feasible.

• In decision-theoretic troubleshooting, costs and likelihoods are balanced in order to find the next action.

• However, this problem can be handled by implementing a sparse matrix to represent these joint likelihoods.
