| Summary: | "Modern Inference Based on Health Related Markers: Biomarkers and Statistical Decision Making provides a compendium of biomarkers based methodologies for respective health-related studies. These methodologies can be applied to various problems encountered in medical, epidemiological, and biostatistical studies. This book introduces correct and efficient decision-making mechanisms including procedures based on different genomic, epidemiological, and biostatisical concepts with the aim of making these techniques assessable to practical researchers. This book illustrates a range of topics related to biomarkers in basic research and medical applications. These include biomarkers for exposure assessment, ethical considerations in data collection, sample pooling strategies, childhood neighborhood quality assessment, brain research with diffusion tensor imaging data, genome-based cancer site characterization, and an innovative algorithm for thalamic volume measurement using imaging biomarkers. In the biostatistical aspect, this book describes how to correctly state statistical problems and presents novel results. It discusses modern statistical methods for deriving data-driven tools used in health-related studies, especially when dealing with challenging data. This title is a valuable source for epidemiologists, biostaticians, practitioners, both theoretical and applied investigators, and those in the biomedical field who wish to gain a deeper understanding of efficient evidence-based inference incorporating various forms of marker measurements"--Back cover. |
