The subject of the book is the patientâs individualized probability of a medical event within a given time horizon. Gerds and Kattan describe the mathematical details of making and evaluating a statistical prediction model in a highly pedagogical manner while avoiding mathematical notation. Read this book when you are in doubt about whether a Cox regression model predicts better than a random survival forest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eAll you need to know to correctly make an online risk calculator from scratch.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eDiscrimination, calibration, and predictive performance with censored data and competing risks.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eR-code and illustrative examples.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eInterpre\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Two of the top researchers in the field of clinical prediction models have produced a highly innovative book that brings a very technical topic to public grasp by throwing out the formulas and just talking straight from the heart of practical experience.

I find this a very welcome and much needed addition to the literature because prediction is the backbone of medical decision-making; few books are dedicated to modelling strategies and artificial intelligence is ascending in medical research. I thereby highly recommend this book for anyone who would be interested in performing predictive modelling for prognostic or diagnostic research.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e-\u003cb\u003eEvangelos I.
