2020-03-10 v1
Abstract
In this article we provide a substantial discussion on the statistical concept of conditional independence, which is not routinely mentioned in most elementary statistics and mathematical statistics textbooks. Under the assumption of conditional independence, an extended version of Bayes' Theorem is then proposed with illustrations from both hypothetical and real-world examples of disease diagnosis.
