So, question - has anyone written a proof that Bayes' Theorem works on log-odds? It's a pretty simple proof, but I couldn't actually find it anyone on LW, which seems odd.

If it hasn't already been written I might toss it up as a back-to-basics post.

I think it's in chapter 3 of Jaynes' *Probability theory". Also (google is your friend), check here or here.
