(3.) Malhotra and Snowberg (2009) also use prediction markets to assess the probability of winning the general election conditional on winning the 2008 nomination, however they only examine point estimates of conditional probabilities over the course of the primaries as opposed to running regressions over a longer period of time as we do in this paper.
Tables 3-6 present the conditional probabilities calculated for the manufacturing sectors covered by Pavitt's (1984) taxonomy.
This is done by use of the 'chain rule', which says in a BN the full joint probability distribution is the product of all conditional probabilities specified in the BN [1]:
Although a move toward conditional probabilities of audit is occasionally implied, even if unintentionally, theorists have yet to incorporate the concept fully into utility models of tax compliance.
