Conditional Independence and Medical Diagnosis In class we have defined the notion of independence of events: two events A and B are independent if P(A ∩ B) = P(A)P(B) Now we want to define a notion of conditional independence of events A and B given a third event C P(A ∩ BC) = P(AC)P(BC)

Definition We say that the events A and B are independent if P(A ∩ B) = P(A) That is to say for every subset I of the events, the probability that all events in I occur in I If you find this confusing then think what it says in the case n = 3 first 1

Independence of complements: If A and B are independent, then so are A and B , A and B, or P(B) is 0 or 1 In other words, an event A which has probability B are mutually exclusive, that is, if A occurs, then B cannot occur, and vice versa

We can use this information to upgrade our knowledge about the probability of some conditional on the occurrence of event B This probability is denoted P(A B) For Furthermore, two events are independent if any one of the following is true: conditional event, of the original sample space and then calculating the

Theorem 2 (Conditional Probability of Independent Events) If A and B are independent events with nonzero probabilities in a sample space S then P(A jB) = P(A); P(B jA) = P(B): If either equation in (4) holds then A and B are independent Example 3 A single card is drawn from a standard 52-card deck Test the following events for independence:
De nition 1: Independent Events The occurrence of one event has no e ect on the probability of the occurrence of any other event Events A and B are independent if one of the following is true: (1) P (AjB) = P (A); (2) P (BjA) = P (B); (3) P (AandB) = P (A)P (B) De nition 2: Mutually Exclusive
any two events A and B with P(B) > 0 the conditional probability of A given that B has occurred is de?ned by P(AB) = P(A? B) P(B) Furthermore two events are independent if any one of the following is true: P(A?B) = P(A)P(B) P(AB) = P(A) P(BA) = P(B) Exercise2 7(Conditional Probability onthe Independence of Events) 1
P[A? B]= P[A? C]= P[B? C]= 1 36 so that all events are pairwise independent However P[A? B? C]= P[B? C]= 1 36 while P[A]P[B]P[C]= 1 216 so they are not independent as a triplet First note that indeed P[A? B] = P[B? C] = 1 36 since the fact that A and B occurred is the same as the fact that B and C occurred Example 2
Events A and B are independent if: knowing whether A occured does not change the probability of B Mathematically can say in two equivalent ways: P(BA)=P(B) P(A and B)=P(B ? A)=P(B) × P(A) Important to distinguish independence from mutually exclusive which would say B ? A is empty (cannot happen) Example
1 If two events (both with probability greater than 0) are mutually exclusive then: A They also must be independent B They also could be independent C They cannot be independent 2 If two events (both with probability greater than 0) are mutually exclusive then: A They also must be complements B They also could be complements C
Are and B mutually exclusive events?
A and B are mutually exclusive events if they cannot occur at the same time. This means that A and B do not share any outcomes and P ( A AND B) = 0. For example, suppose the sample space S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}. Let A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}, B = {4, 5, 6, 7, 8}, and C = {7, 9}. A AND B = {4, 5}.
Is event B dependent or independent of event?
Two events A and B are said to be independent if the fact that one event has occurred does not affect the probability that the other event will occur. If whether or not one event occurs does affect the probability that the other event will occur, then the two events are said to be dependent. How do you know if an event is independent?
What is the probability of two independent events?
We can calculate the chances of two or more independent events by multiplying the chances. For each toss of a coin a Head has a probability of 0.5: And so the chance of getting 3 Heads in a row is 0.125 So each toss of a coin has a ½ chance of being Heads, but lots of Heads in a row is unlikely.
