Priorside

Priorside is a term that can refer to several distinct concepts, primarily within the contexts of probability theory and local history. In Bayesian statistics, a prior probability distribution, often shortened to "prior," represents the degree of belief in a proposition before new evidence is considered. When discussing this distribution, "priorside" might informally refer to the side or aspect of the analysis that deals with these prior beliefs, as opposed to the "posterside" which deals with the posterior distribution derived after incorporating data. This usage is not a standard technical term but rather a descriptive phrase.

Separately, "Priorside" can be a place name. For example, it may be the name of a specific neighborhood or street within a town or city. Such place names often have historical origins, potentially relating to a former landowner, a geographical feature, or a significant event in the area's past. Without specific geographical context, "Priorside" as a place name is difficult to pinpoint to a single location. Further research into local archives or historical maps would be necessary to identify a specific place named Priorside and its associated history.
