Merger proposal[edit]

I propose to merge Base_rate into Prior_probability. This stub article is simply a synonym and example of the broader concept. Kuanpern86 (talk) 00:45, 20 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Kuanpern86, you are welcome to do so, but you can not remove categories just because something is a stub--Bamyers99 was quite right. Drmies (talk) 01:23, 20 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The article starts the base rate (also known as prior probabilities). If the terms are deemed to be equivalent then the articles should be merged. If the terms do not describe the same concept then the opening sentence needs to clarify that — GhostInTheMachine ^{talk to me} 07:45, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
