Comparing the Performance of Diagnostic Tests (650 and 588 Patients)

  • Chapter
SPSS for Starters and 2nd Levelers

Abstract

Both logistic regression and c-statistics can be used to evaluate the performance of novel diagnostic tests (see also Machine learning in medicine part two, Chap. 6, pp 45–52, Springer Heidelberg Germany, 2013, from the same authors). This chapter is to assess whether one method can outperform the other.

This chapter was previously partly published in “Machine learning in medicine a complete overview”, Chap. 41, Springer Heidelberg Germany, 2015, from the same authors.
