Statistical Evaluation of Medical Tests for Classification and - Predictio

Zusatztext I very much recommend this book to a range of audiences, from those wanting an introduction to diagnostic test concepts and methods to active researchers in the area. This book is likely to stimulate considerable progress in development of new statistical methods for diagnostic tests, an area that relative to therapeutics has received little attention from biostatisticians. Klappentext This book describes statistical techniques for the design and evaluation of research studies on medical diagnostic tests! screening tests! biomarkers and new technologies for classification and prediction in medicine.
