Reviews
It covers extensively most aspects of applied problems one can encounter when dealing with diagnostic accuracy studies. An attractive feature is that WinBUGS code needed for the implementation of the described methodologies is given in every chapter (also available on the author's blog). A set of exercises is given at the end of each chapter. ... a carefully written book. It will be useful for consulting biostatisticians, graduate students and teachers using methods for the assessment of diagnostic accuracy from a Bayesian viewpoint. The book is a must have for the interested audience. -Christos Nakas, ISCB Newsletter, June 2013
Dr. Broemeling places all these considerations associated with test accuracy determinations into a pure Bayesian perspective. His book can be, in some sense, considered as a Bayesian counterpart to the books of Pepe and Zhou et al. The presentation is quite detailed and supported by a significant number of applications. ... The literature review supporting the theoretical concepts about accuracy and the practical aspects associated with the applications is without a doubt extensive. ... a good overview of the methods currently used to assess the accuracy of a medical test and their transposition to the Bayesian framework. -Benoit Beck, CHANCE, August 2013 It covers extensively most aspects of applied problems one can encounter when dealing with diagnostic accuracy studies.
