Summary:

A consulting biostatistician based in Texas, Broemeling offers a textbook for graduate students in statistics, especially those who will be working in the various areas of diagnostic medicine, such as pathology or diagnostic imaging. He describes methods for measuring the accuracy of various medical texts, focusing mostly on Bayesian inferential procedures, but also discussing the design of such studies. Students should have completed a year of introductory probability and mathematical statistics, several introductory methods courses such as regression and the analysis of variance, and an introduction to Bayesian inference.
