Optimal Sequential Screening Guidelines for Quantitative Risk Factors Measured with Error
含测量误差的定量风险因素最优序贯筛查准则
Any screening program based on a quantitative risk factor has the objective of identifying individuals at high risk of disease. When the risk factor varies within individuals over time or is subject to measurement error, repeat measurements should aid risk assessment. This article presents statistical guidelines for sequential screening based on measurements accumulated over time. The aim for each subject is to decide whether (a) risk is sufficiently low that screening can…
