{"product_id":"the-statistical-evaluation-of-medical-margaret-sullivan-pepe-9780198565826","title":"The Statistical Evaluation of Medical Tests for Classification and Prediction","description":"This book describes statistical concepts and techniques for evaluating medical diagnostic tests and biomarkers for detecting disease. More generally, the techniques pertain to the statistical classification problem for predicting a dichotomous outcome. Measures for quantifying test accuracy are described including sensitivity, specificity, predictive values, diagnostic likelihood ratios and the Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve that is commonly used for continuous and ordinal valued tests. Statistical procedures are presented for estimating and comparing them. Regression frameworks for assessing factors that influence test accuracy and for comparing tests while adjusting for such factors are presented. This book presents many worked examples of real data and should be of interest to practicing statisticians or quantitative researchers involved in the development of tests for classification or prediction in medicine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Margaret Sullivan Pepe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0198565828\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198565826\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e OUP Oxford\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/16\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.08lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.28w x 0.72d","brand":"Margaret Sullivan Pepe","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47520230867199,"sku":"9780198565826","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_58a55dc1-1ac2-4468-9dc5-20fceb1d032c.jpg?v=1762884336","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-statistical-evaluation-of-medical-margaret-sullivan-pepe-9780198565826","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
