Confusion of the inverse — Confusion of the inverse, also called the conditional probability fallacy, is a logical fallacy whereupon a conditional probability is equivocated with its inverse:[1] That is, given two events A and B, the probability Pr(A | B) is assumed to be… … Wikipedia
Jump threading — In computing, jump threading is a compiler optimization. In this pass, conditional jumps in the code that branch to identical or inverse tests are detected, and can be threaded through a second conditional test. This is easily done in a single… … Wikipedia

Likelihood function — In statistics, a likelihood function (often simply the likelihood) is a function of the parameters of a statistical model, defined as follows: the likelihood of a set of parameter values given some observed outcomes is equal to the probability of … Wikipedia
