most probable value

It is not the most probable value of a measurement.

The new calculations put the most probable value of the Hubble constant at 45.

In particular, p-boxes lose information about the mode (most probable value) of a quantity.

(The best guess is to guess the most probable value.)

The solution of the normal equations gives the most probable values of the unknown quantities.

From the sigma curve I estimate the most probable value of the activity I'll have to shoot at.

A most probable value of 2.5 x 10 23 has been found to be acceptable for most flexible heterodisperse polymers in good solvents.

Most of the bets had been placed near the most probable value, but some pessimists, mistrusting Mackay completely, had gone out to a quarter of a million kilo- metres.

For typical step polymerization, most probable values of the PDI are around 2 -Carothers' equation limits PDI to values of 2 and below.

Instead of attempting to solve the marginal, the goal here is to find the values that maximises the global function (i.e. most probable values in a probabilistic setting), and it can be defined using the arg max:

When the program encounters a sector with errors that cannot be corrected by the disk drive's error-correcting code, it tries to read the sector up to 2000 times, in order to determine, by comparing the successive results, the most probable value of each bit.
