Summary

This reference presents advanced techniques for assessing medical test accuracy. After a review of the usual measures, including specificity, sensitivity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and the area under the ROC curve, the book expands its scope to cover the more advanced topics of verification bias, diagnostic tests with imperfect gold standards, and medical tests where no gold standard is available. The author offers a practical treatment by including R and WinBugs code in the examples and by employing the Bayesian approach throughout the text. He also provides practical problems at the end of each chapter.
