  9. The Likelihood function Generative model of the Data: Think Simulations ● The plausibility of a given parameter in generating a particular outcome. ● Scoring function. ● What has now appeared is that the mathematical concept of probability is ... inadequate to express our mental confidence or [lack of confidence] in making ... inferences, and that the mathematical quantity which usually appears to be appropriate for measuring our order of preference among different possible populations does not in fact obey the laws of probability. To distinguish it from probability, I have used the term "likelihood" to designate this quantity.... — R. A.
