This PR updates the documentation for a few of the functions that deal with
LogProbability
. The documentation should be more correct, but I think a more long term solution would involve changing the names of a few functions. In particular:or
could be more appropriately namedadd
or something similar. It is just used to add probabilities, which is appropriate forPr(A or B)
only ifA
andB
are mutually independent. For independent events,Pr(A or B) = Pr(A) + Pr(B) - Pr(A)*Pr(B)
.aOrNotB
could be more appropriately namessubtract
or similar. It is just used to subtract one probability from another.fgbio/src/main/scala/com/fulcrumgenomics/util/NumericTypes.scala

Is there a reason this
and
function takesArray[Double]
and notArray[LogProbability]
?
