- - - - - - Thursday 1/15 - - - Conditional Probability - -

- Question: How does evidence (e.g., knowledge of one event occurring) change our knowledge of probabilities for other events? -

- - - -

- Roll a fair D6 two times. - Let A = \{\text{sum } \geq 10\} and B = \{\text{first roll is } 6\}. - A feels more likely if we already know B has occurred. -

- - - - - -

- The conditional probability of A given B is: , - - \Pr(A \mid B) = \frac{\Pr(A\cap B)}{\Pr(B)} - -

- -
- \Pr(A \mid B) tells the proportion of B which is overlapped by A. - - -

- Two overlapping circles representing events A and B sit inside a rectangle representing the sample space \Omega. - The circle labeled B is shaded. - The portion of that circle which is overlapped by the A circle is also filled in with slanted lines. -

- - - \begin{tikzpicture} - \def\firstcircle{(180:1.75cm) circle (2.5cm)} - \def\secondcircle{(0:1.75cm) circle (2.5cm)} - \fill [gray!30] \secondcircle; - \begin{scope} - \clip \firstcircle; - \clip \secondcircle; - \fill [pattern=north east lines] \firstcircle; - \end{scope} - \draw \firstcircle node[text=black] {$A$}; - \draw \secondcircle node[text=black] {$B$}; - \draw (-5, -3) rectangle (5, 3) node [text=black,right] {$\Omega$}; - \end{tikzpicture} - - -
- - - - - -

- Continuing from the previous example, |\Omega| = 36. - - A \amp = \{(4, 6), (5, 5), (5, 6), (6, 4), (6, 5), (6, 6)\} - B \amp = \{(6, 1), (6, 2), (6, 3), (6, 4), (6, 5), (6, 6)\} - A \cap B \amp = \{(6, 4), (6, 5), (6, 6)\} - - So \Pr(A) = \frac{6}{36}, \Pr(B) = \frac{6}{36}, \text{and } \Pr(A\cap B) = \frac{3}{36}. - Then: - - \Pr(A \mid B) = \frac{\Pr(A\cap B)}{\Pr(B)} = \frac{3/36}{6/36} = \frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2}. - - Notice that \Pr(A\mid B) is significantly larger than \Pr(A). -

- - - - - - Diagnostic Testing - -

- Setup: A patient takes a diagnostic test. - Let P be the event that they test positive. - Let D be the event that they have the disease. -

- - - -

- The sensitivity of a diagnostic test is \Pr(P \mid D). - The specificity of a diagnostic test is \Pr(P^c \mid D^c). -

- - - -

- But, what the patient really wants to know is \Pr(D \mid P). -

- - - -

- A disease has a prevalence of 1%. - A test has sensitivity of 90% and specificity of 91%. - For a patient who gets a positive test result, what is the probability that they have the disease? -

- -

- - \text{A) } 9/10 \amp \amp \text{B) } 8/10 \amp \amp \text{C) } 1/10 \amp \amp \text{D) } 1/100 - -

- C! -

- - - - - Bayes' Theorem (v1) - - -

- For events A, B with nonzero probability: - - \Pr(B \mid A) = \frac{\Pr(A \mid B)\Pr(B)}{\Pr(A)} - -

- - - -

- For example, if a patient sees a positive diagnostic test result, they might try to calculate: - - \Pr(D \mid P) = \frac{\Pr(P \mid D)\Pr(D)}{\Pr(P)} - - \Pr(P \mid D) is the sensitivity. \Pr(D) could be the prevalence. We don't have direct access to \Pr(P). -

- -

- Observation: \Omega = D \cup D^c, so P = (P\cap D) \cup (P\cap D^c). -

- Observation 2: - - \Pr(P \mid D) \amp \frac{\Pr(P\cap D)}{\Pr(D)} \amp \amp \Rightarrow \amp \Pr(P \cap D) \amp = \Pr(P\mid D)\Pr(D) - \Pr(P \mid D^c) \amp \frac{\Pr(P\cap D^c)}{\Pr(D^c)} \amp \amp \Rightarrow \amp \Pr(P \cap D^c) \amp = \Pr(P\mid D^c)\Pr(D^c) - - So: - - \Pr(P) = \Pr(P\mid D)\Pr(D) + \Pr(P\mid D^c)\Pr(D^c) - -

- - - Bayes' Theorem (v2) - - -

- - \Pr(B \mid A) = \frac{\Pr(A \mid B)\Pr(B)}{\Pr(A \mid B)\Pr(B) + \Pr(A \mid B^c)\Pr(B^c)} - -

- - - - - -

- Continuing from the previous example: - - \Pr(D\mid P) \amp = \frac{\Pr(P\mid D)\Pr(D)}{\Pr(P\mid D)\Pr(D) + \Pr(P\mid D^c)\Pr(D^c)} - \amp = \frac{(0.9)(0.01)}{(0.9)(0.01) + (1 - 0.91)(1 - 0.01)} - \amp \approx 0.092 - - What if the patient got a negative test result instead? In that case, what is the probaiblity they do not have the disease? - - \Pr(D^c\mid P^c) \amp = \frac{\Pr(P^c\mid D^c)\Pr(D^c)}{\Pr(P^c\mid D^c)\Pr(D^c) + \Pr(P^c\mid D)\Pr(D)} - \amp = \frac{(0.91)(1 - 0.01)}{(0.91)(1 - 0.01) + (1 - 0.9)(0.01)} - \amp \approx 0.999 - -

- - - - - - Independent Events - -

- Question: \Pr(A \mid B) is supposed to capture how information about B affects the probability of A. - What if it doesn't? -

- - - -

- Events A, B are independent if \Pr(A \mid B) = \Pr(A). -

- - - -

- Observation: If A, B have nonzero probability and are independent, then: - - \Pr(A\mid B) \amp = \Pr(A) - \frac{\Pr(A\cap B)}{\Pr(B)} \amp = \Pr(A) - \Pr(A\cap B) \amp = \Pr(A)\Pr(B) - - We can take this last equation as a definition of independence. -

- - - -

- Continuing , recall A = \{\text{sum} \geq 10\} and B = \{\text{1st roll is } 6\}. - We found that \Pr(A \mid B) \neq \Pr(A), so A and B are not independent. -

- -

- Now consider the event C = \{\text{sum} = 7\}. - We have: - - C \amp = \{(1, 6), (2, 5), (3, 4), (4, 3), (5, 2), (6, 1)\} - \Pr(C) \amp = \frac{6}{36} = \frac{1}{6} - B\cap C \amp = \{(6, 1)\} - \Pr(B\cap C) \amp = \frac{1}{36} - \text{therefore: } \Pr(C\mid B) \amp = \frac{\Pr(C\cap B)}{\Pr(B)} = \frac{1/36}{1/6} = \frac{1}{6} = \Pr(C) - - Therefore events B, C are independent. -
