This volume contains refereed papers submitted by participants of
the third week of a six week workshop on Statistics in the Health
Sciences held by the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications
in Minneapolis, Minnesota during July of 1997. This week was
devoted to the closely related topics of Diagnosis and Prediction.
Theoretical and applied statisticians from universities, medical
and public health schools, government and private research
institutions, and pharmaceutical companies involved in prediction
problems in the life and social sciences and in diagnostic and
screening tests were brought together to discuss and exchange new
results and information on these important issues. A number of
papers with applications were presented and especially lively
discussions ensued involving the critical issues and difficulties
in using and interpreting diagnostic tests and implementing mass
screening programs. Both frequentist and Bayesian approaches were
employed. The importance of predicting or controlling future events
such as survival, comparative survival and survival post
intervention for a disease or even for certain biological or
natural events is growing rapidly. This area of concern was also
represented by participants who presented work that devised
predictive methodology for a variety of problems mainly from a
Bayesian perspective.
