Clinical Prediction Models
A practical approach to development, validation
and updating; by Ewout Steyerberg
Welcome to this site that supplements the book Clinical Prediction Models.
Prediction models are increasingly relevant in the medical field. We witness an increase in biological knowledge on potential predictors of outcome, e.g. on biomarkers; increasing access to large data sets; and popularity of Machine Learning methods. Applications for prediction models include targeted early detection of disease, and individualized decision-making for diagnostic testing and treatment.
The first edition of Clinical Prediction Models was published in 2009. A fully revised version was published in 2019, again by Springer. It includes more material and updates of every chapter; most graphics are in color now.
This site aims to provide additional material for the book, references and presentations.
