If I were you, I'd change my example slightly - rather than asserting that the overall risk in the population is 0.15, I'd say the baseline risk in the non-diseased is, say, 0.15 or 0.10, then determine the increase in risk I want in the diseased and let the overall risk fall where it may, rather than trying to set it. It's considerably easier to code, though you will possibly not have numbers that are quite as clean at the end. | |

The rest of your answer remains quite unclear, to me, especially when you say "calculate the baseline risk of the symptom you'll need to get 0.15 in the whole population, taking into account that 0.03% of your population will be at higher rate". How to compute this baseline risk? | |
