Welcome at this website, which accompanies my book:

Clinical Prediction Models:
A Practical Approach to Development, Validation, and Updating

The first edition 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 exercises, data sets and R code, additional information and text that was left out from the book, links to www pages, access to the 2009 set of references from the book, Errata, Reviews, and a forum for discussion on prediction research. The site is continuously under construction; especially more R scripts will be shared (end of 2022). Please use to 'Search' function if you are looking for a specific issue.

You can mail me or visit my home page, Wikipedia, or ResearchGate page if you like.

Background information is in the back cover of the book. You can place an order at Amazon and many other sites.
