Modeling in Medical Decision Making: A Bayesian Approach (Statistics in Practice) Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is a nice readable book about decision theory from the Bayesian perspective. In addition to providing the foundations of Bayesian decision theory including utility theory the author prvides many real world research examples including meta-analyses.
Unlike his more recent and highly statistically sophisticated text on Bayesian decision theory this concentrates on medical examples and his written at a level to appeal to clinicians as well as statisticians. Decision trees and methods toevaluate quality of life years are introduced and used in the examples.
