We take a semiparametric perspective, making no assumptions about the distributions of baseline and posttest responses. By representing the situation in terms of counterfactual random variables, we exploit recent developments...
متن کاملPretest probability assessment derived from attribute matching
BACKGROUND Pretest probability (PTP) assessment plays a central role in diagnosis. This report compares a novel attribute-matching method to generate a PTP for acute coronary syndrome (ACS). We compare the new method with a validated logistic regression equation (LRE). METHODS Eight clinical variables (attributes) were chosen by classification and regression tree analysis of a prospectively c...
