English term

prior odds - posterior odds

English to French Science Archaeology Archéologie médico-légale, statistiques, probabilité
It talks about the identification of bodies withe the Bayes theorem and probabilities. There might be some mistakes in the text that I'm translating :

"Bayes theorem allows us to combine each segment of evidence and its estimated certainty as a probability. Numerically results will be represented through a prior odds value."

"This will be combined with the likelihood ratio, the result of the statistical assessment of the genetic evidence towards the identification in order to obtain a certainty of the identification expressed as a posterior odds or as a probability of identification."

Using the wikipedia page on the Bayes' theorem https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayes'_theorem
and comparing French and English.

Also, searching google with "Bayes priori posteriori" seems to confirm

cotes a priori - cotes a posteriori

Sans les formules dans le texte, il est difficile de déterminer si c'est bien de cote (odds) ou de probabilité dont il est question, mais la présence de likelyhood ratio (rapport de vraisemblance) et le contexte médico-légal met la puce à l'oreille.
