Objective Probability
(redirected from objective probabilities)

   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.01 sec.
Objective probability

Objective Probability
The likelihood of the outcome of any event based upon recorded measurements rather than subjective analysis. Objective probability is considered more accurate than subjective estimates, thought it should be noted that analysts often rely on subjectivity just as much. Objective probability is important to both technical analysis and fundamental analysis.
