Exotic probability is a branch of probability theory that deals with probabilities which are outside the normal range of 0, 1 . The most common author of papers on exotic probability theory is Saul Youssef . According to Youssef, the valid possible alternatives for probability values are the real number s, the complex number s and the quaternion s. Youssef also cites the work of Richard Feynman , P. A. M. Dirac , Stanley Gudder and S. K. Srinivasan as relevant to exotic probability theories. Of the application of such theories to quantum mechanics , Bill Jefferys has said Such approaches are also not necessary and in my opinion they confuse more than they illuminate. ref Jefferys 2002 http www.lns.cornell.edu spr 2002 03 msg0040195.html Newsgroup discussion on sci.physics.research accessed 1 Sept 2010 ref Notes reflist External links http physics.bu.edu youssef quantum quantum refs.html http xxx.lanl.gov abs hep th 0110253 Physics with exotic probability theory paper by Youssef on arXiv . http fnalpubs.fnal.gov library colloq colloqyoussef.html http flux.aps.org meetings YR97 BAPSAPR97 vpr layn18 4.html Measuring Negative Probabilities, Demystifying Schroedinger s Cat and Exploring Other Quantum Peculiarities With Trapped Atoms http www.mathpages.com home kmath309.htm MathPages The Complex Domain of Probability Category Probability theory Category Exotic probabilities probability stub ... more details
DISPLAYTITLE A priori probability The term a priori probability is used in distinguishing the ways in which values for probabilities can be obtained. In particular, an a priori probability is derived purely by deductive reasoning . ref Mood A.M., Graybill F.A., Boes D.C. 1974 Introduction to the Theory of Statistics 3rd Edition . McGraw Hill. Section 2.2 http www.colorado.edu Economics morey 7818 7818readings.html available online ref One way of deriving a priori probabilities is the principle of indifference , which has the character of saying that, if there are N mutually exclusive and exhaustive events and if they are equally likely, then the probability of a given event occurring is 1 N . Similarly the probability of one of a given collection of K events is K N . One disadvantage of defining probabilities in the above way is that it applies only to finite collections of events.

The sticking probability is the probability that molecules are trapped on surfaces and adsorb chemically. From Langmuir equation Langmuir s adsorption isotherm , molecules cannot adsorb on surfaces when the adsorption adsorption sites are already occupied by other molecules, so the sticking probability can be expressed as follows s s sub 0 sub 1 c where s sub 0 sub is the initial sticking probability and c is the coverage. Similarly, when molecules adsorb on surfaces dissociatively, the sticking probability is s s sub 0 sub 1 c sup 2 sup Although these equations are simple and can be easily understood, they cannot explain experimental results.

In statistics, the coverage probability of a confidence interval is the proportion of the time that the interval contains the true value of interest. ref Dodge, Y. 2003 The Oxford Dictionary of Statistical Terms , OUP. ISBN 0 19 920613 9 ref For example, suppose our interest is in the expected value mean number of months that people with a particular type of cancer remain in remission following successful treatment with chemotherapy . The confidence interval aims to contain the unknown mean remission duration with a given probability. This is the confidence level or confidence coefficient of the constructed interval which is effectively the nominal coverage probability of the procedure for constructing confidence intervals. The nominal coverage probability is often set at 0.95. The coverage probability is the actual probability that the interval contains the true mean remission duration in this example. If all assumptions used in deriving a confidence interval are met, the nominal coverage probability will equal the coverage probability termed true or actual coverage probability for emphasis . If any assumptions are not met, the actual coverage probability could either be less than or greater than the nominal coverage probability. When the actual coverage probability is greater than the nominal coverage probability, the interval is termed conservative , if it is less than the nominal coverage probability, the interval is termed anti conservative , or permissive. A discrepancy between the coverage probability and the nominal coverage probability frequently occurs when approximating a discrete distribution with a continuous one.
