Absolute Risk: Methods and Applications in Clinical Management and
Public Health provides theory and examples to demonstrate the
importance of absolute risk in counseling patients, devising public
health strategies, and clinical management. The book provides
sufficient technical detail to allow statisticians,
epidemiologists, and clinicians to build, test, and apply models of
absolute risk. Features: Provides theoretical basis for modeling
absolute risk, including competing risks and cause-specific and
cumulative incidence regression Discusses various sampling designs
for estimating absolute risk and criteria to evaluate models
Provides details on statistical inference for the various sampling
designs Discusses criteria for evaluating risk models and comparing
risk models, including both general criteria and problem-specific
expected losses in well-defined clinical and public health
applications Describes many applications encompassing both disease
prevention and prognosis, and ranging from counseling individual
patients, to clinical decision making, to assessing the impact of
risk-based public health strategies Discusses model updating,
family-based designs, dynamic projections, and other topics Ruth M.
