Let be the probability density function (or probability mass function) for conditioned on the value of . It describes the probability that we observe a given outcome of , given a known value of . If is sharply peaked with respect to changes in , it is easy to indicate the "correct" value of from the data, or equivalently, that the data provides a lot of information about the parameter . If is flat and spread-out, then it would take many
