Bayesian Statistics

Overview of the Original Diagnosis System

An assembly of 34 teams, each composing of around 5 to 6 research team members, were created. Each team was given two patients for data analysis, totaling 68 patients. The use of PCR allowed the amplification of DNA, ensuring that the research conducted was able to use the proper amounts of DNA needed. During the study, each sample collected from the patient was analyzed for SNP, or single nucleotide polymorphism. This was to determine whether each sample was suspectible to disease or if there was a lack of an affliction.

The use of the Bayesian equation was critical in providing the conclusions made from the study. It was apparent that some of the teams were unable to secure the data needed for analysis. Due to the high probability of data inaccuracy, the Bayesian method provided assistance in increasing credibility and reducing ambiguity. One suggestion may be that the technical method of collecting the study's data (the fluorimeter setup, the ImageJ calibration, etc.) may have played a key role in the inconsistencies found during the research. Providing a more stable method of data analysis would be strongly recommended for future studies.
