It is agreed that Hamilton wrote 51 Federalist papers and Madison wrote 14 Federalist papers. However, there’s a dispute over how to attribute 12 other papers between these two authors. In Hamilton’s 51 papers, the word “upon” was used 3.24 times per 1000 words. In Madison’s 14 papers, the word “upon” was used 0.23 times per 1000 words.
a.) Based on the sample proportion of papers with known authorship, 51/(14+51) is a reasonable prior probability for a disputed paper to be attributed to Hamilton. Give a situation where this prior should be used over the prior that gives equal probability to both authors, and give another situation where the equal probability prior is referred.
b.) If the word “upon” is used 3 times in a disputed text of length 1,000 words and we assume the equal probability prior, what is the posterior probability the paper was written by Hamilton?
c.) Give one assumption you are making in part b that is likely unreasonable.
d.) In part b, if we change the number of “upon”s from 3 to 1, does the posterior probability increase, decrease, or stay the same?
e.) In part b, if we change the number of “upon”s to 30 and the text length to 10,000 words, does the posterior probability increase, decrease, or stay the same?

Simple Bayesian Statistics problem: It is agreed that Hamilton wrote 51 Federalist papers and Madison wrote 14 Federalist papers. However, there’s a dispute over how to attribute 12 other papers between these two authors. In Hamilton’s 51 papers, the word “upon” was used 3.24 times per 1000 words. In Madison’s 14 papers, the word “upon” was used 0.23 times per 1000 words. a.) Based on the sample proportion of papers with known authorship, 51/(14+51) is a reasonable prior probability for...
6. Later we will give data on an experiment conducted by Mosteller and Wallace (1963) on the use of language by Alexander Hamilton. Their study attempted to unravel a longstanding question of who wrote the 12 disputed Federalist Papers. We will show that if X- the number of times Hamilton used the word "an" in a given text, then a good distribution function for that random variable is 0, ifx<0 F(x)-〈 y, (1.24)%-1.24 Using this result, compute the following probabilities....

Please read the article and answer about questions. You and the Law Business and law are inseparable. For B-Money, the two predictably merged when he was negotiat- ing a deal for his tracks. At other times, the merger is unpredictable, like when your business faces an unexpected auto accident, product recall, or government regulation change. In either type of situation, when business owners know the law, they can better protect themselves and sometimes even avoid the problems completely. This chapter...
David’s Story “Life is difficult.” I once read these three trivial words in a book, but never knew how true to life and impactful they would be until one fateful fall evening. Before I begin, let me back up and tell you more about who I am and how I got here. I am a Caucasian male raised in a small conservative town in Maine by hard-working middle-class parents. My compassionate mother juggled raising three rambunctious children, me being the...
A. Issues [1] In addition to damages for one year's notice period, can a trial judge award significant damages for the mere fact of an employee's dismissal, or for the stigma that that dismissal brings? Or for the employer thereafter competing with the ex-employee for the clients, before the ex-employee has got a new job? B. Basic Facts [2] This is an appeal from 2009 ABQB 591 (CanLII), 473 A.R. 254. [3] Usually a judgment recites facts before law. But...
