Modern Inference Based on Health-Related Markers: Biomarkers and Statistical Decision Making

Modern Inference Based on Health Related Markers: Biomarkers and Statistical Decision Making provides a compendium of biomarkers based methodologies for respective health related fields and health related marker-specific biostatistical techniques. The book introduces correct and efficient testing mechanisms, including procedures based on bootstrap and permutation methods with the aim of making these techniques assessable to practical researchers. In the biostatistical aspect, it describes how to correctly state testing problems, but it also includes novel results, which have appeared in current statistical publications. In addition, the book discusses also modern applied statistical developments that consider data-driven techniques, including empirical likelihood methods and other simple and efficient methods to derive statistical tools for use in health related studies. Combines modern epidemiological and public health discoveries with cutting-edge biostatistical tools, including relevant software codes, offering one full package to meet the demand of practical investigatorsIncludes the emerging topics from real health fields in order to display recent advances and trends in Biomarkers and associated Decision Making areasWritten by researchers who are leaders of Epidemiological and Biostatistical fields, presenting up-to-date investigations related to the measuring health issues, emerging fields of biomarkers, designing health studies and their implementations, clinical trials and their practices and applications, different aspects of genetic markers INDICE: Part 1: Measure of Health via Biomarkers 1.
