Statistical methods for prognostic factor and risk prediction research (2023)
Thesis
Whittle, R. L. (2023). Statistical methods for prognostic factor and risk prediction research. (Thesis). Keele University

Prognosis research is an important part of medical research as it seeks to understand, predict, and improve future outcomes in people with a given disease or health condition. This thesis focuses on the application and development of statistical meth... Read More about Statistical methods for prognostic factor and risk prediction research.

Investigating the presence and impact of competing events on prognostic model research (2019)
Thesis
Teece, L. (2019). Investigating the presence and impact of competing events on prognostic model research. (Thesis). Keele University

Prognostic models are used to predict an individual’s future health outcomes, including the risk of disease progression and the development of further complications. The statistical methodology used to develop these models is often naïve to the prese... Read More about Investigating the presence and impact of competing events on prognostic model research.

Development and application of multivariate meta-analysis in medical research: borrowing strength across multiple correlated outcomes (2019)
Thesis
Hattle, M. S. M. (2019). Development and application of multivariate meta-analysis in medical research: borrowing strength across multiple correlated outcomes. (Thesis). Keele University. Retrieved from https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/415208

Multivariate meta-analysis methods combine effect estimates for multiple correlated outcomes (such as systolic and diastolic blood pressure) from independent studies, utilising their between-study and within-study correlations. In contrast, a univari... Read More about Development and application of multivariate meta-analysis in medical research: borrowing strength across multiple correlated outcomes.
