Bayes in a Nutshell
The Scientific Method
Diagnostic Protocol
Initial probability theory is
Do experiment
Result either tends to confirm or refute theory
Update: New probability theory 4 is valid depends on initial probability, experimental result and strength of experiment New probability becomes the initial probability for next cycle
iterative approach
Doctor's estimate of probability of distone based in tist, Etc.
Perform diagnostic test
Test comes back positive or negative
Update: New estimate of probability of disease based on prior estimate, test result and test strength
New estimate is starting point for next tesT, if necessary
