....with section 7 concluding the paper. Appendix A reproduces a base rate fallacy example in diagram form. 3 The Base Rate Fallacy The base rate fallacy 1 is one of the cornerstones of Bayesian statistics, stemming as it does directly from Bayes famous 1 The idea behind this approach stems from [13, 14]. theorem that states the relationship between a conditional probability and its opposite, i.e. with the condition transposed: P (AjB) P (A) P (BjA) P (B) 1) Expanding the probability P (B) for the set of all n possible, mutually exclusive outcomes A we arrive at equation (2) P (B) ....

....we were no exception and it is this phenomenon that humans in general do not take the basic rate of incidence, the base rate, into account when intuitively solving such problems in probability that is aptly named the base rate fallacy. 3 The idea behind this approach stems from [Mat96, Mat97] 4 This example hinted at in [RN95] 5 The reader is encouraged to make a quick guesstimate of the answer, at this point. 4 The Base Rate Fallacy in Intrusion Detection In order to apply the above reasoning to the computer intrusion detection case we must first find the different ....
