Bayesian Conditionalization

Bayesian Conditionalization is a normative rule in epistemology and confirmation theory prescribing that an agent updates their belief in a hypothesis by conditionalizing on new evidence through Bayesian inference, where the posterior probability is determined by the prior probability of the hypothesis multiplied by the likelihood of the evidence given the hypothesis, normalized by the total probability of the evidence.
