- If we have two experiments that are independent but depend on
the same theoretical parameter
. Then
- and clearly the combined likelihood is
- This final L is correct expression of results of both
experiments.
- i.e., one should multiply likelihoods when combining
experiments.
- We will now apply this to case when each
is Gaussian in
theoretical parameter
