TRUE..the repairman was looking to see if there were males in the household or someone else who might know he was gouging you when he did the repairs and billed you. i know LOTS of trades repair companies (especially plumbers and heater/AC) that permit their installers to keep half of the take. their crooked tradesmen will look around to gauge the ability of the customer to call BS on unnecessary or bogus repairs...especially on women who are unlikely to know if there even is such a thing as a conibbler pin or a fragistat. years ago my wife got a bid for $750 for new brake pads on a small car. when i called the guy to ask if that included the rears and new rotors and bearing he said no...JUST PADS, front only...no fluid bleed, no bearing regrease, not even a rotor resurfacing. i told him he should be ashamed of himself as i had a bid from the local legit repair shop for $130 including surfacing, repair persons are incentivized to overcharge but are smart enough to do it so they don't get caught

Brew Sauce+ I've done a lot of electrical repair work, and it becomes second nature when entering an unfamiliar place to glance around looking for potential problems, to a point where one may not even be aware of it. And btw, I've spotted many problems -- shock and/or fire hazards -- that the homeowner was oblivious to. It is the responsibility of the electrician to spot these hazards, point them out, and recommend (even insist) appropriate remedies. I imagine it's the same for someone coming to repair your gas range (assuming it is a gas range). He would want to know if there any other gas appliances in the house, any lines/valves/couplings that might be problem, etc. It would be irresponsible to not ascertain this info.

The trouble with updating beliefs while encountering new evidence today is we can all find evidence to support any belief. It really depends where one looks for said evidence. We all have so many information sources to tap now. So everyone can easily find whatever echo chamber they need, to reinforce whatever belief they hold dear.

Your statement is fully correct. It looks that statistics become more stable if you get more and more data. However the quality of data matters a lot too! And this is also included to the Bayes theory! The simplest example is having two Gaussian distributions, if you put them together, the tighter one will win, i.e. the more uncertain one has little impact. Indeed it is hard to quantify everything, but with the Bayes theory all is combined at least in a consistent way. If you want to get on something, the theory helps you not to loose.

Bayes' Rule is an important component of critical thinking. The ability to think critically is a skill that needs to be learned. The challenge is that common sense and intuition are often very wrong, and there's no trivial way for knowing when. It's on a case-by-case basis, and all those cases are about patterns that need to be recognized and examined.

This is quite similar in many ways to my personal system, although I haven't put it down in numbers or created clear rules and patterns, it was more psychological and simple.

Isn't it amazing how personality and the subsequent psychology factors into not only the type of career path one may choose to do but also their attitude in life? Some people naturally tend to be shy while others are predisposed to be extroverted and thereby inclined to have greater degree of social success - these are the business and management types and are often well suited to their role. Perhaps this could be taken as an indication of what career an individual might be better suited for rather than lumping everyone into a uniform set and expecting them to perform in an identical way in accordance akin to a one dimensional academic expectation. Its like throwing out the baby with the bath water. In education, many will display a greater inclination toward a specific interest that presents itself as a good reflection of what they are really curious about. These subsequently aspire toward achievement in their chosen fields that is often associated with quiet study and solitude (think library) often resulting in an excellence in both attitude and performance. Additionally however, such a generalized performance model or KPI can exclude an individual from achieving their true potential as the expectation is in accordance to a generalization rather than specialization.

One can, almost without noticing, end up in silos where there is a high degree of conformity of opinion, and where differing views are subtly, or not so subtly, marginalized. In my own case...though I try to avoid confirmation bias, I have no doubt that I'm afflicted with it. It's easy, maybe even comforting, to be surrounded by people who agree with you, and to latch on to tidbits of info that confirm one's vested position. OTOH, when I re-think a position, based on new evidence, or even a compelling personal testimony or someone eloquently putting forth a different view, it feels liberating.

As to the final part, "Update incrementally", it is good to keep in mind when doing so that forming a general principle based on personal exposure, even if to many adherents, is still anecdotal not empirical, and thus influenced by the persons own biases or the context of the social norms. So in Berkley, where there is a lot of new-agey sentiment there are more people who feel that meditation is beneficial and this in and of itself can increase ones own personal perception of benefits, or if formulating opinions based on informal tallies of personal interactions, lead you to think, well it must actually have positive benefits because so many of those I encounter say it does.

remember your priors, how likely is it that a math PhD has the courage to venture outside of their room and into the savage social environment of the campus

I don't know much about meditation, but as far as I do know, meditation is nothing more than you practicing to control your racing thoughts. And as we all may know, the more you practice something, the better you get at it.

@Fernando Cunha I'd actually say that it is incredibly simple once you get the hang of it. What could be simpler than winding down? I've done it for 10 years and I love it. I'd also just say that it is more about being attentive and open to yourself than about actually wanting to controlling your thoughts, though it's true they will become calmer and more focused. I would agree however, that without some practice in a meditation centre under a proper teacher it can be difficult to get the hang of it by yourself. I highly recommend the books and talks (a lot of them are in youtube) by Thich Nhat Hanh (vietnamese zen master). He speaks plainly and powerfully, in a way akin to science. He likens zen theory to Lavoisier's principle of the conservation of mass. And you can feel that he is largely free from attachment and dogma.

Good logic. I've cultivated this in myself, though I never knew a particular name for it.

I've been struggling to "get" bayesian stats for a couple of years, sorry to say, because even in my technical work (biomedical informatics) I need visual representations of abstract relationships to help me think through problems. So your visual aids were extremely helpful to me. They took a rather wobbly abstract concept of priors and offloaded them to a visual concrete representation to reduce cognitive load. Thanks so much and I've subscribed to see what else I can learn!

To me, it's a cognitive load even after visual representations. One is either numerically/scientifically predisposed or isn't. I don't think you can force yourself to become adept at something you're not naturally adept at.

Problem #1: When an accident happens, what is the probability that the accident is caused by a bad driver, given that: 1) 90% of the population has been involved in at least one accident 2) 30% of the population are bad drivers (means 70% are good drivers) 3) 99% of the bad drivers are involved in at least one accident P(Bad Driver) = 0.3 p(Accident|Bad Driver) = probability of a bad driver causing an accident = 0.99 P(Accident) = 0.9 P(Bad Driver|Accident) = probability of an accident caused by a bad driver = 0.99 * 0.3 / 0.9 = 0.33 = 33% When an accident happens, there is only 33% chance that the accident is caused by a bad driver. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Problem #2: Find the chance of having cancer, given that the customer is 65 years old. Facts: (a) 1% of the population have cancer (99% don't have cancer) (b) 0.2% of the population is 65 years old (c) Of those that have cancer, 0.5% of them are 65 years old P(Cancer) = 0.01 P(65 yr old) = 0.002 P(65 yr old | Cancer) = 0.005 P(Cancer | 65 yr old) = What percent of the 65 year old population is likely to have cancer = P (65 yr old | Cancer ) * P (Cancer) / P(65 yr old) = 0.005 * 0.01 /0.002 = 0.025 Only 2.5% of the 65 year old population is likely to have cancer. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Problem #3: Given the following: (a) 1% of the population have breast cancer (99% don't) (b) 80% of the mammograms detect breast cancer (20% don't) (c) 9.6% of the mammograms detect breast cancer when it's not there (90.4% of the tests correctly return a negative result). You have got a positive result.What are the chances that you have breast cancer? P(Breast Cancer|Positive Result) is what we have to find. P(Breast Cancer) = 0.01 P(Positive Result|Breast Cancer) = 0.8 P(Positive Result) = We need to consider both positive and false positive = Positive + False Positive = You have breast cancer and you have been correctly identified as having breast cancer + You don't have breast cancer but have been identified as having breast cancer = 0.01 * 0.8 + 0.99 * 0.096 = 0.10304 P(Breast Cancer|Positive Result) = 0.8 * 0.01 / 0.10304 = 0.0776 So, if you have a positive result, there is only 7.76% that you have breast cancer.

Problem #4: Spam detection (a) 50% of the emails are spam (b) Out of 1000 spam emails, 110 contain the word 'Nigeria' (c) Out of 1000 non spam emails, 48 contain the word 'Nigeria' A message with the word 'Nigeria' arrives in your inbox. What are the chances that this message is spam? P(Spam|Nigeria) is what we have to find. P(Spam) = 0.5 P(Nigeria|Spam) = 0.11 P(Nigeria) = Probability of a message having the word 'Nigeria' = Probability of word 'Nigeria' appearing in a spam email + Probability of 'Nigeria' appearing in an non spam email = 0.11 * 0.5 + 0.048 * 0.5 = 0.079 P(Spam|Nigeria) = P(Nigeria|Spam) * P(Spam) / P(Nigeria) = 0.11 * 0.5 / 0.079 = 0.69620 There is a 69.2% chance that the message containing 'Nigeria' is a spam.

P(Cancer) * P(65 yr old | Cancer ) represents the Probability that someone you know nothing about has cancer AND is 65 years old (first you take P(Cancer) since you know nothing about that person and then you multiply P(65 | cancer) since the cancer part is already included in the first probability). Now you have the "pool" of people who are both. But since you know (in the problem) that the relevant portion is 65 years old you have to divide by that probability to include that knowledge. Proof (I know it's not helping to visualize :P): P(Cancer) * P(65 | Cancer) = P(65&Cancer) = P(65) * P(Cancer | 65) P(Cancer | 65) = P(65&Cancer)/P(65) = P(Cancer) * P(65 | Cancer) / P(65)

It should be noted that the conclusion of problem #3 only applies if you randomly test people from the population. If you were prescribed a mammogram to begin with, there are other reasons why your physician suspects you might have cancer, and therefore belong to a population that, even before testing, has a chance of having cancer higher than 1%. Also, is your figure of 9.6% of false positives a real one or did you make it up?
