    The document describes how to calculate probabilities in MATLAB by indexing data points that fall within defined boundaries using 1s and 0s. It defines boundaries for variables A and B, counts the number of hits for each using sum, and calculates the probabilities of events A, B, and A and B occurring using the counts and total number of data points. The probability of A given B is then calculated using the probabilities of A and B and their intersection.

    To calculate probabilities in MATLAB, the number of points within each boundary must be indexed
    in the following way (1 represents a hit, so the point is within the boundary):

    >> A = 2430 < density & density < 2450 >> B = 55 < strength & strength < 65 >> Atotal = 2410 < density & density < 2489 >> Btotal = 48 < strength & strength < 71
    A= B= Atotal = Btotal =

    1 1 1 1
    1 1 1 1
    0 1 1 1
    0 0 1 1
    0 1 1 1
    1 0 1 1
    0 0 1 1
    1 0 1 1
    1 1 1 1
    1 1 1 1
    1 1 1 1
    0 0 1 1
    1 1 1 1
    1 1 1 1
    1 1 1 1
    0 0 1 1
    1 0 1 1
    0 0 1 1
    0 1 1 1
    1 1 1 1
    1 1 1 1
    0 1 1 1
    0 1 1 1
    1 1 1 1
    1 1 1 1
    0 1 1 1
    1 1 1 1
    1 0 1 1
    0 1 1 1
    0 0 1 1
    1 1 1 1
    1 1 1 1
    1 0 1 1

    0 1 1 1
    0 0 1 1
    0 1 1 1
    0 0 1 1
    0 1 1 1

    Also as P(AandB) will need to be found, the following boundary, which includes both the
    density and strength, must be defined: >> AandB = A & B
    This simply indexes the points which fit both criteria, A and B.
    Then, these indexed “hits” must be counted, which involves a simple sum of all the 1’s
    above.
    >> sum(Atotal)

    ans =

    40

    >> sum(Btotal)

    ans =

    40

    >> sum(A)

    ans =

    20

    >> sum(B)

    ans =

    26

    >> sum(AandB)

    ans =

    15

    =================================================================================================================
    ====

    Then, the probabilities are found simply by inputting the different formulae, using the
    basic
    >> ProbA = sum(A)/sum(Atotal)
    ProbA =

    0.5000
    >> ProbB = sum(B)/sum(Btotal)
    ProbB =

    0.6500
    In this case, ProbAandB had to be done slightly differently, as it involved boundaries
    within two variables.
    >> >> ProbAandB = sum(AandB)/sum(Atotal)
    ProbAandB =

    0.3750
    Then, we can use this to find P(A|B)
    >> ProbAgivenB = ProbAandB/ProbB
    ProbAgivenB =

    0.5769
