According to Baye’s rule, among all joint outcomes with “negative results”, the proportion of people having the disease is \(p (user|-)\). Specifically:

\[p (user|-) = \frac{p (-|user)\cdot p(user)}{p(-)}\] We should notice that the prior, \(p(user)\) is now the posterior computed from the Table 5.4 in the book. Also notice that,

\[P(-) = \sum_{θ^*} \cdot P (-|θ^∗) \cdot P(θ^*) \] Now, I will compute the posterior from Table 5.4:

\[P (user|+) = \frac {0.99 \cdot 0.001}{0.99 \cdot 0.001 + 0.05 \cdot (1-0.001)}\] Using R, we know that the result is:

posterior <- (0.99*0.001)/(0.99*0.001+0.05*(1-0.001))
posterior

## [1] 0.01943463

\[ \begin{eqnarray} P (user|-) & = & \frac{P (-|user)\cdot P(user)}{P(-)}\\ \\ & = & \frac{P (-|user)\cdot P(user)}{\sum_{θ^*} \cdot P (-|θ^∗) \cdot P(θ^*)}\\ \\ & = & \frac {0.01 \cdot 0.01943463 }{P(-|user) \cdot P(user) + P(-|non-user) \cdot P (non-user)} \\ \\ & = & \frac {0.01 \cdot 0.01943463 }{0.01 \cdot 0.01943463 + 0.95 \cdot (1-0.01943463)} \end{eqnarray} \]

Calculating using R:

(0.01*posterior) / {0.01*posterior+(0.95*(1-posterior))}

## [1] 0.0002085862

Therefore, the probability that the person has the disease given that the re-test shows “negative” is 0.0002085862.
