  • Enter your prior distribution in the PRIOR column.  Note that it may be entered as whole numbers.
  • Enter your data (number of successes and failures) in the SUCCESSES and FAILURES boxes.
  • Push the UPDATE button to compute the posterior probabilities.
  • In the table, the Likelihood column contains the probability of observing the data for each value of p, normalized so that the largest likelihood is equal to 10000.
