 Definition: EQI—the Expected Quality of the Information.  We adopt the convention that if \(P[o_{ku} \pmid h_{i}\cdot b\cdot c_{k}] = 0\), then the term \(\QI[o_{ku} \pmid h_i /h_j \pmid b\cdot c_k] \times P[o_{ku} \pmid h_{i}\cdot b\cdot c_{k}] = 0\). This convention will make good sense in the context of the following definition because, whenever the outcome \(o_{ku}\) has 0 probability of occurring according to \(h_i\) (together with \(b\cdot c_k)\), it makes good sense to give it 0 impact on the ability of the evidence to distinguish between \(h_j\) and \(h_i\) when \(h_i\) (together with \(b\cdot c_k)\) is true. Also notice that the full outcome-compatibility of \(h_j\) with \(h_i\) on \(c_k\) means that whenever \(P[e_k \pmid h_{j}\cdot b\cdot c_{k}] = 0\), we must have \(P[e_k \pmid h_{i}\cdot b\cdot c_{k}] = 0\) as well; so whenever the denominator would be 0 in the term
