GHTM Session No 6 02-06-21

GHTM Session 2021CCID06p » Bayesian approaches in medical diagnosis: Principles, tools, and Applications
GHTM Session 2021CCID06p » Bayesian approaches in medical diagnosis: Principles, Tools, and Applications, by Prof. Luzia Gonçalves | GHTM-PPS | IHMT-NOVA.

 

The lecture on the 2nd of June, 2021, at 11:00 am, by the researcher

Prof. Luzia Gonçalves, GHTM | IHMT-NOVA, will have as its theme:

Bayesian approaches in medical diagnosis: principles, tools, and applications

Despite the increasing popularity of Bayesian statistics, some concepts (e.g., prior information, posterior distribution, credibility intervals) remain unclear for non-statisticians. The evaluation of diagnostic tests is a good example to explain Bayesian statistics. In this work, Bayesian latent class models will be discussed to estimate sensitivities and specificities using multiple imperfect diagnostic tests.
No mathematical knowledge is required for this talk.
