    Just curious, where has this term 'noul' come from for yes/no ansers?

    /a bit more digging and..

    A Noul performs a Bernoulli trial—an experiment with exactly two outcomes (yes or no)—but instead of picking one, it returns the calibrated probability (ranging from 0.0 to 1.0) that the statement is true.

    I hate it :)

      In Bayesian statistics that’s called credence. Weird that they felt the need to invent a new term.
