Standardize complement or "not" probability notation #136

Open matthew-brett opened 1 year ago

matthew-brett commented 1 year ago

In probability_theory_1a and probability_theory_1b I have used $P(\ \hat{} A)$) to mean the complement of A - we might consider using the same notation in bayes_simulation for C- and T+ etc.

This one still applies. Any thoughts?

I thought hat has the connotation of estimator in stats, but I am not from the field. In boolean logic, it's most often an overbar.

matthew-brett commented 3 months ago

Ah - no - sorry - I was just using \hat{} on its own, before the symbol - $\hat{} a$ - meaning not $a$ - not a hat on top of the symbol - like this - $\hat{a}$, which is the notation for an estimate - but I don't think we're planning to use that notation...

That's probably fine, then!
