Abstract

We describe a Gröbner basis of relations among conditional probabilities in a discrete probability space, with any set of conditioned-upon events. They may be specialized to the random variable case, the purely conditional case, and other special cases. We also investigate the connection to generalized permutohedra and describe a "conditional probability simplex."
