Statistical Evaluation of Medical Tests for Classification and Prediction
This book describes statistical concepts and techniques for evaluating medical diagnostic tests and biomarkers for detecting disease. 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. More generally, the techniques pertain to the statistical classification problem for predicting a dichotomous outcome.
Regression frameworks for assessing factors that influence test accuracy and for comparing tests while adjusting for such factors are presented. Statistical procedures are presented for estimating and comparing them. 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
