A priori analysis of an algorithm refers to its time and space complexity analysis using mathematical (algebraic) methods or using a theoritical model such as a finite state machine. (In short, analysis prior to running on real machine.)

A posteriori analysis of an algorithm refers to the statistical analysis of its space and time complexity after it is actualy run on a practical machine. (in short, anaysis of its statistics after running it on a real machine)
