4 million – HIV- 1,400 – HIV+ Test has a 1% error rate If don’t have HIV then 1% of time it says you have it If you do have HIV then 1% of time it says you don’t have it You have been told that you have a positive test (and you don’t use intravenous drugs recreationally or partake of risky sexual practices) What is the probability that you actually have an HIV infection?
4 million – HIV- 1,400 – HIV+ 3,960,000- 40,000+ 14- 1,386+ 3,960,000- 14- 40,000+ 1,386+ P(HIV+|Test+) = 1,386/ (40,000 + 1,386) = 3.35% P(HIV+|Test-) = 14/ (3,960,000 + 14) = 3.5x10-4% Before the test P(HIV+) = 1,400 / (1,400 + 4,000,000) = 0.035%
P(HIV+) – Hypothesis (hidden) = 0.03% P(HIV+|Test+) P(Test+|HIV+) 99% what we want but is hard to get to P(Data) - data (observed)
P(Hyp) – Hypothesis (hidden) P(Hyp|Data) P(Data|Hyp) easy to reason about what we want but is hard to get to P(Data) - data (observed)
What is Bayes’ rule Model Prior P(Data|Hyp) P(Hyp) P(Hyp|Data) = ∑P(Data|H’) P(H’) Answer Normalization

Bayesian Statistics • Simple mathematical basis • Long period before it was used widely conceptual problems computationally difficult (Hyp can get very large) • Technique useful for many otherwise intractable problems
