Description

The purpose of this one-day short course is to provide a comprehensive account of statistical methods for design and analysis of diagnostic studies, including sample size calculations, estimation of the accuracy of a diagnostic test, comparison of accuracies of competing diagnostic test, and regression analysis of diagnostic accuracy data. Additionally, some recently developed methods for correction of verification bias and imperfect reference bias, and meta-analysis methods will be discussed. This short course will be based n the instructors' new textbook entitled "Statistical Methods in Diagnostic Medicine" to be published by Wiley & Sons in year 2002. Participants are required to have basic understanding of statistical theory. Familiarity with statistical methods for missing data and longitudinal data is helpful for understanding some of materials in the presentation.
