Quantitative Estimation and Prediction of Human Cancer Risks



Author: E. Cardis
Edition: 1
Publisher: World Health Organization
Binding: Paperback

Quantitative Estimation and Prediction of Human Cancer Risks (IARC Scientific Publications)


This volume assesses formal methods for the quantitative estimation and prediction of human cancer risks. Medical books Quantitative Estimation and Prediction of Human Cancer Risks . Quantitative estimates of cancer risk can be expressed in different ways. In some cases estimates of risk under conditions prevailing in the original data are of primary interest; in others predictions of risk under other conditions are required. Estimates of risk may be based on empirical models that provide a reasonable description of the available data or on models developed on the basis of plausible assumptions about the mechanisms of carcinogenesis. Throughout this volume established scientific principles of carcinogenesis are used to support methods proposed for the quantitative estimation and prediction of risk Medical books Quantitative Estimation and Prediction of Human Cancer Risks.

The Statistical Evaluation of Medical Tests for Classification and Prediction

The Statistical Evaluation of Medical Tests for Classification and Prediction



Author: Margaret Sullivan Pepe
Edition: 1
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA
Binding: Paperback
ISBN: 0198565828



The Statistical Evaluation of Medical Tests for Classification and Prediction (Oxford Statistical Science Series)


This book describes statistical concepts and techniques for evaluating medical diagnostic tests and biomarkers for detecting disease. Medical books The Statistical Evaluation of Medical Tests for Classification and Prediction . More generally, the techniques pertain to the statistical classification problem for predicting a dichotomous outcome. Measures for quantifying test accuracy are described including sensitivity, specificity, predictive values, diagnostic likelihood ratios and the Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve that is commonly used for continuous and ordinal valued tests. Statistical procedures are presented for estimating and comparing them. Regression frameworks for assessing factors that influence test accuracy and for comparing tests while adjusting for such factors are presented Medical books The Statistical Evaluation of Medical Tests for Classification and Prediction.

Prediction and Change of Health Behavior

Prediction and Change of Health Behavior



Author:
Edition: 1
Publisher: Psychology Press
Binding: Paperback

Prediction and Change of Health Behavior: Applying the Reasoned Action Approach


Prediction and Change of Health Behavior honors the work of Martin Fishbein by illustrating the breadth and depth of the reasoned action approach. Medical books Prediction and Change of Health Behavior. Focused on attitudes and their effects on health-related behavior, the book demonstrates the profound impact of Fishbein and Ajzen’s theories of reasoned action on attitude research and on the solution of social problems.
 
Part I is devoted to theoretical and conceptual issues aspects of the reasoned action approach. Leading figures in the field address such issues as measurement compatibility, the interaction of belief strength and outcome evaluations, the role of emotions, the prediction of classes of behavior, explicit versus implicit attitudes, and the moderating effects of perceived control on behavior. Those unfamiliar with the reasoned action approach are provided with a general introduction to the theory Medical books Prediction And Change Of Health Behavior Ebook.

Medical Book Prediction and Change of Health Behavior



Focused on attitudes and their effects on health-related behavior, the book demonstrates the profound impact of Fishbein and Ajzen’s theories of reasoned action on attitude research and on the solution of social problems.
 
Part I is devoted to theoretical and conceptual issues aspects of the reasoned action approach. Leading figures in the field address such issues as measurement compatibility, the interaction of belief strength and outcome evaluations, the role of emotions, the prediction of classes of behavior, explicit versus implicit attitudes, and the moderating effects of perceived control on behavior. Those unfamiliar with the reasoned action approach are provided with a general introduction to the theory. Part II applies the reasoned action approach to the health domain. The chapters in this part vividly illustrate how the reasoned action approach can be applied to understanding risky sexual behavior. Dr. Fishbein reflects on contributions of his own work in the book’s final chapter.
 
Intended for researchers, practitioners, and advanced students interested in understanding and modifying human behavior, this book is especially valuable to public health practitioners, nurses, and other health professionals, as well as to social and clinical psychologists and health communicators.
