1 Bayes Theorem P(C A) P(A) P(A C) = P(C A) P(A) + P(C B) P(B) P(E B) P(B) P(B E) = P(E B) P(B) + P(E A) P(A) P(D A) P(A) P(A D) = P(D A) P(A) + P(D B) P(B) Cost of procedure is $1,000,000 Data regarding accuracy of the procedure is: Prob (+ test result patient has diabetes) =.90 Prob (+ test result patient has leukemia) =.95 Prob (+ test result patient has neither) =.07 We also know that in the general population: Prob (Patient has diabetes) =.02 Prob (Patient has leukemia) =.01 Prob (Patient has neither) =.97 Should we purchase the procedure? 1
2 What probabilities do we really need to know? Prob (patient has diabetes + test result) =??? Prob (patient has leukemia + test result) =??? Prob (patient has neither + test result) =??? How can we find these probabilities? Prob (patient has diabetes + test result) = P (+ test result diabetes) P(diabetes) P (+ test result diabetes) P(diabetes) + P (+ test result leukemia) P(leukemia) + P (+ test result neither) P(neither) Prob (D + ) = P (+ D) P(D) P (+ D) P(D) + P (+ L) P(L) + P (+ N) P(N) (.90) (.02) =.19 (.90) (.02) + (.95) (.01) + (.07) (.97) 2
3 Prob (L + ) = P (+ L) P(L) P (+ L) P(L) + P (+ D) P(D) +P (+ N) P(N) (.95) (.01) =.10 (.95) (.01) + (.90) (.02) + (.07) (.97) Prob (N + ) = P (+ N) P(N) P (+ N) P(N) + P (+ L) P(L) + P (+ D) P(D) (.07) (.97) =.71 (.07) (.97) + (.95) (.01) + (.90) (.02) To demonstrate that these probs. are correct, look at a random sample of 100,000 people D % L % N 97,000 7% , ,000 9,540 90,460 Total popul. + reading - reading 3
4 Remember that: Prob (+ test result patient has diabetes) =.90 Prob (+ test result patient has leukemia) =.95 Prob (+ test result patient has neither) =.07 and Prob (Patient has diabetes) =.02 Prob (Patient has leukemia) =.01 Prob (Patient has neither) =.97 May also want to be concerned about false negatives: Prob (Patient has diabetes - ) = 200/90460 Prob (Patient has leukemia - ) = 50/90460 Cost of procedure is $1,000,000 Data regarding accuracy of the procedure is: Prob (+ test result patient has diabetes) =.90 Prob (+ test result patient has leukemia) =.95 Prob (+ test result patient has neither) =.07 4
5 Bayes Theorem- Practice problem Product Manager Problem There are two types of probabilities: Actual: P(superior product) Survey results: P(Survey says superior product) Bayes Theorem- Practice problem Product manager Problem - p. 21 Part a) First survey is negative Find P(superior product survey says not superior) Part b) Second survey is negative Find P(superior product survey says not superior) Using results from (a) as starting point in (b) use condit. prob. as new marginals Quick Review of Discrete and Continuous Distributions Random Variable Discrete Continuous Discrete Probability Distribution Continuous Probability Distribution Normal (and Normal Approximation to ) 5
6 Random Variable Variable that takes on a set of unique numerical values which represent every possible outcome of a random process Discrete -- Values are usually integers (finite number of values) Continuous -- Values are real #s (infinite number of values within interval) Probability Distribution Discrete Collection of probabilities that describe frequency with which random variable takes on each of its possible values Called probability mass function 1. 0 <= P(x) <= 1 2. Σ P(x i ) = 1 i Cumulative distribution function Probability that x takes on values <= X F(x) = P( x <= X) = Σ P(x i ) x i <=X 1. 0 <= F(x) <= 1 2. F(a) <= F(b) if a < b 6

P(x = 19) = P(x <= 21) = P(19 < x <= 22) = The mean age of students in the class µ = Σ x i P(x i ) = 19.6 i 7
