The subject of the book is the patient’s individualized probability of a medical event within a given time horizon. Gerds and Kattan describe the mathematical details of making and evaluating a statistical prediction model in a highly pedagogical manner while avoiding mathematical notation. Read this book when you are in doubt about whether a Cox regression model predicts better than a random survival forest.Features:\u003cul\u003e   All you need to know to correctly make an online risk calculator from scratch  Discrimination, calibration, and predictive performance with censored data and competing risks  R-code and illustrative examples  Interpretation of prediction performance via benchmarks  Comparison and combination of rival modeling strategies via cross-validation\u003cb\u003eThomas A.
