Definition
English
:
A theorem in
probability theory
named for Thomas Bayes (1702-1761). In
epidemiology
, it is used to obtain the
probability
of
disease
in a group of people with some characteristic on the basis of the
overall
rate of that
disease
and of the likelihoods of that characteristic in healthy and diseased individuals. The most familiar application is in clinical
decision
analysis where it is used for estimating the
probability
of a particular
diagnosis
given the appearance of some
symptoms
or test result.
