... I ) = Prior в Likelihood inference Pr( | ... Atomic priors One useful way of breaking down the complexity of a problem is to construct the ob ject as some number of a-priori-equivalent "atoms", which are scattered randomly over the domain of interest. ... As it happens, the number of attributes (dimensions) ascribed to an atom is often small, so the mere fact of using an atomic prior much reduces the difficulty: we seek to control only one or two atoms at a time, not the entire ob ject. ...
