Notation issues
I am having a hard time appreciating what the notation used in Equation 1 is supposed to mean. The meaning of the condition is far from clear. For example, the denominator is written $$P(\theta_{up}<\theta|0)$$, which based on the numerator appears to mean $$P(\theta_{up}<\theta|\theta=0)$$, which seems like it should simply reduce to $$P(\theta_{up}<0)$$ which is clearly not what it is intended since this is zero always (following the logic $$P(A<b|b=c)=P(A<c)$$ for random variable A with parameter b and real number c).

Anyway some clarification would be very beneficial. Bjfar (talk) 23:30, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
