In simple terms a probabilistic likelihood model is a mathematical model which gives the probability of some observation (data) for some stated mathematical model capable of predicting said data as an outcome (observation). It is typically denoted as p(D|M) which is simply the conditional probability for the data D given some model M. In parameter estimation exercises, it is often written as p(D|a) where a is a mathematical parameter of the model class M which indicates which member out of a family of associG0D IS SOCIALIST AND ATHEIST!
