| Jun 27, 2016 at 21:15 | comment | added | jtam | Indeed. I can do this with another assumption: that the relative volume of patients is equal to the relative number of positives. | |
| Jun 27, 2016 at 21:10 | comment | added | Aksakal | It's not enough. You'd need an assumption of what are these relative volumes. | |
| Jun 27, 2016 at 20:56 | comment | added | jtam | Thanks for you comment. However, I think if we make an assumption that the relative volumes are constant it is ok. | |
| Jun 27, 2016 at 18:05 | comment | added | Aksakal | If you know nothing about the volumes, then you can't simulate this with Monte Carlo either. | |
