EPGY Day 8

Morning

Question: Suppose you're on a game show, and you're given the choice of three doors: Behind one door is a car; behind the others, goats. You pick a door, say No. 1, and the host, who knows what's behind the doors, opens another door, say No. 3, which has a goat. He then says to you, “Do you want to pick door No. 2?” Is it to your advantage to switch your choice?

Conditional Probability

True Bayesians actually consider conditional probabilities as more basic than joint probabilities . It is easy to define P(A|B) without reference to the joint probability P(A,B). To see this note that we can rearrange the conditional probability formula to get:
P(A|B) P(B) = P(A,B)
but by symmetry we can also get:
P(B|A) P(A) = P(A,B)
It follows that:
which is the so-called Bayes Rule.

Building a k-D tree

Application: 3-D graphics 

Algorithm BuildKDTree (S, depth) 

input: a set of points S, the current depth depth 
output: the root of a kD-tree storing S 

if S contains only one point 
    then return a leaf storing this point 
else if depth is even 
    then Split S into 2 subsets with a vertical line L through the median x-coord 
    else Split, 2 subsets with a horizontal line 

v_left <- BuildKDTree (S1, depth+1) 
v_right <- BuildKDTree (S2, depth+1) 
v <- L 
return v
