To estimate this parameter from raw counts of diagnoses, we need to establish the population of 1-year-old children from which the diagnosed individuals were sampled. This involved correcting census data (national estimate of 1-year-olds) for the proportion of the population in the city, as well as for the market share of the hospital. The latter is based on expert esimate, and hence encoded as a prior.
