GHTM Sessions 2021 – CCID06 » Bayesian approaches in medical diagnosis: Principles, tools, and Applications

May 20, 2021

The Institute of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine presents the lecture cycle GHTM SESSIONS – this time GHTM Session No 6 02-06-21 -, of the Global Health and Tropical Medicine Research Centre, with which it shares the work of its researchers. This cycle is dedicated to the scientific innovations produced here in the area of infectious disease diagnosis.

GHTM SESSIONS will comply with the following program.

The lectures are free and open to all and will take place in Portuguese, through Zoom access:

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.
