🧵 Exotic probabilities
Anonymous at Wed, 24 Jul 2024 06:32:35 UTC No. 16294404
In statistics in what situations can we speak of a
- negative probability
- probability greater than 1
- imaginary / complex or other forms of non-real probability
?
Also how can we practically conceptualize exotic probability? And what are the greater implications for both physics and pure math of exotic probability?

In fact, modern probability theory takes the opposite approach: exotic probabilities are fundamental, and ordinary probabilities are simply exotic probabilities with values restricted to real numbers in between 0 and 1.
And instead of calling them "exotic probabilities", they go by a different name:

Thank you anon
How does one conceptualize measurements not in the zero to one range? How can you imagine such probabilities? Any practical metaphors for understanding them?
