I would like to conduct a PSA, but I have a variable - probability of amblyopia risk factors = 0.19 which made up of a sub-set of eye conditions, that are not mutually exclusive i.e. a person can have more than one risk factor. I would like to apply a distribution to this variable to conduct a PSA, but not sure what distribution would be ideal. Beta distribution doesn't seem appropriate because u (mean)*n (sample size) > r (the number of events). Can anyone speak to this?
For non disjoint (not mutually exclusive) events A and B, the probability of A or B happening is the P(A) plus P(B) minus the probability of A and B happening at the same time.
I suggest the multinomial probability distribution in this case.
Dear Afua Asare, Have you made any progress in the solving of the problem you have aimed at. Go slowly, think deeply, work out perfectly. Success is then certain.
Thanks Dhritikesh Chakrabarty . The project is currently on hold, but I will give this a try once I get back to it. Thanks so much and sorry for taking so long to get back to you.
