"If an event can be produced by a number n of different causes, the probabilities of the existence of these causes, given the event (prises de l'Ã©vÃ©nement), are to each other as the probabilities of the event, given the causes: and the probability of each cause is equal to the probability of the event, given that cause, divided by the sum of all the probabilities of the event, given each of the causes."

-- Pierre-Simon Laplace
