- Provides worked examples using data from clinical practice
- Explains the development of 2x2 tables and their implications for clinical practice
- Provides comprehensive coverage of basics of the topic at a level accessible to those with basic mathematical knowledge
This book describes, extends, and illustrates the metrics of binary classification through worked examples.
Worked examples based on pragmatic test accuracy study data are used in chapters to illustrate relevance to day-to-day clinical practice. Readers will gain an understanding of sensitivity and specificity and predictive values along with many other parameters.
The contents are highly structured, and the use of worked examples facilitates understanding and interpretation.
This book is a resource for clinicians in any discipline who are involved in the performance or assessment of test accuracy studies and professionals in the disciplines of machine learning or informatics wishing to gain insight into clinical applications of 2x2 tables.
