Question:
Consider a single Boolean random variable Y (the “classification”). Let the prior probability P(Y = true) be π. Let’s try to find π, given a training set D = (y1, . . . , yN ) with N independent samples of Y . Furthermore, suppose p of the N are positive and n of the N are negative.
By differentiating the log likelihood L, find the value of π that maximizes the likelihood.
