Abstract
The nature and properties of various prior distributions for measureme nts in individual and composite spin-1/2 systems are discussed. The pr iors are based in differing ways upon complex multinormal, uniform, un ivariate normal, binomial and multinomial distributions. The dual (Bay es) case of the Gibbs/Band-Park model of thermodynamic equilibrium is investigated in this context.
