Purpose of the Study:

  • To extend predictive value definitions to continuous prognostic factors.
  • To introduce a graphical method for summarizing predictive accuracy with continuous factors.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing a marginal regression framework, building on prior work.
  • Developing methods for estimating predictive value functions and their differences.

Main Results:

  • Proposed extension of predictive value definitions for continuous prognostic factors.
