New Risk Models Superior to Pretest Probability at Predicting CAD

Among patients with suspected obstructive CAD, two simple models that include clinical risk factors both outperform the commonly used pretest probability (PTP) model when it comes to predicting the ...

The probability for a Pap test to be abnormal is directly proportional to HPV viral load: results from a Swiss study comparing HPV testing and liquid-based cytology to detect ...

The Pap test is currently central to the detection of cervical cancer precursors. Conventional smears, whose utilisation started in the early 1950s, have been progressively replaced by liquid-based ...

Quantification of model risk with an application to probability of default estimation and stress testing for a large corporate portfolio

This paper addresses the building of obligor-level hazard rate corporate probability of default models for stress testing, departing from the predominant practice in wholesale credit modeling of ...
