Bayesian Principle
Assume that the true value of the parameter θ is the
realization of a random variable:
θ ∼ π(·), where π(·) is a distribution on (Θ, σΘ ).
The distribution (Θ, σΘ , π) is the Prior Distribution for θ.
The specification of π(·) may be
π(θ), θ ∈ Θ
p(x | θ), x ∈ X
π(θ)p(x|θ)
π(θ | x) = π(t)p(x|t)dt
(continuous prior)

(n − k) ≤ n and (n − k) ≤ N(1 − θ)
=⇒ max(0, n − N(1 − θ)) ≤ k ≤ min(n, Nθ).
X ∼ Hypergeometric(Nθ, N, n).
