	Prior (Stargate) The Ori are fictional characters in the science fiction television series ''Stargate SG-1''. Within the storyline, there are fictional beings described as " ascended" because of their use of advanced technology and knowledge of the universe. The Ori are an example of such beings. A significant part of the storyline in the ninth season of ''Stargate SG-1'' involves the Ori's attempt to trick humans into worshipping them as gods. The Ori first appeared in the ninth season of ''Stargate SG-1'', replacing the Goa'uld as the TV series's primary antagonists. While the Goa'uld relied solely on stolen technology from other civilizations to pose as gods, the Ori were conceived as having paranormal abilities in addition to advanced technology. As ascended beings, they live on a higher plane of existence with great power and knowledge and are as close to being "gods" as any non-deific being can be."

	Prior Probability A prior probability distribution of an uncertain quantity, simply called the prior, is its assumed probability distribution before some evidence is taken into account. For example, the prior could be the probability distribution representing the relative proportions of voters who will vote for a particular politician in a future election. The unknown quantity may be a parameter of the model or a latent variable rather than an observable variable. In Bayesian statistics, Bayes' rule prescribes how to update the prior with new information to obtain the posterior probability distribution, which is the conditional distribution of the uncertain quantity given new data. Historically, the choice of priors was often constrained to a conjugate family of a given likelihood function, so that it would result in a tractable posterior of the same family. The widespread availability of Markov chain Monte Carlo methods, however, has made this less of a concern. There are many ways to const ...

	Prior (ecclesiastical) Prior (or prioress) is an Ecclesiology, ecclesiastical Title#Ecclesiastical titles (Christian), title for a Superior (hierarchy), superior in some religious orders. The word is derived from the Latin for "earlier" or "first". Its earlier generic usage referred to any monastic superior. In abbeys, a prior would be lower in rank than the abbey's abbot or abbess. Monastic superiors In the Rule of Saint Benedict, the term appears several times, referring to any superior, whether an abbot, Provost (religion), provost, Dean (Christianity), dean, etc. In other old monastic rules, the term is used in the same generic sense. With the Cluniac Reforms, the term ''prior'' received a specific meaning; it supplanted the provost or dean (''praepositus''), spoken of in the Rule of St. Benedict. The example of the Cluniac congregations was gradually followed by all Benedictine monasteries, as well as by the Camaldolese, Vallombrosians, Cistercians, Hirsau Abbey, Hirsau congregations, and other ...

	Prior Norge Prior Norge is a defunct Norwegian white meat and egg processing company organised as an agricultural cooperative. The company merged with Gilde Norsk Kjøtt in 2006 to create Nortura. The Prior brand is still used. History The first national union of the egg cooperative was founded on October 25, 1919, when six local egg centres created Norske Eggcentral A/L. At this time, 180,000 Norwegian households, or 30% of all households, had their own chickens. By 1929 eggs compromised 98% of the revenue of Norske Eggcentral, white meat 2%. The central started with quality sorting and marking of all eggs in 1934 and the brand ''Sol-egg'' was introduced. During and after World War II there was rationing of eggs in Norway, but this was suspended in 1949. In the 1950s the egg central started active marketing through advertisements and in 1977 the ''Sol-egg'' brand was replaced with the Prior brand on all eggs and white meat.

	Prior Knowledge For Pattern Recognition Pattern recognition is a very active field of research intimately bound to machine learning. Also known as classification or statistical classification, pattern recognition aims at building a classifier that can determine the class of an input pattern. This procedure, known as training, corresponds to learning an unknown decision function based only on a set of input-output pairs (\boldsymbol_i,y_i) that form the training data (or training set). Nonetheless, in real world applications such as character recognition, a certain amount of information on the problem is usually known beforehand. The incorporation of this prior knowledge into the training is the key element that will allow an increase of performance in many applications. Prior knowledge Prior knowledgeB. Scholkopf and A. Smola,Learning with Kernels, MIT Press 2002. refers to all information about the problem available in addition to the training data. However, in this most general form, determining a model from a finit ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]

This information is usually considered by the judge/magistrate in deciding the sentence the defendant will receive. If a defendant pleads " not guilty", previous convictions are not usually made known to the jury during the trial, to prevent prejudice against the defendant, but it is argued if the defendant has previous convictions for similar types of offense, this can ...
