Mathematics and medicine. Test reduction: III-Practical applications.

W I Card, P A Emerson

    British Medical Journal
    |September 6, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary

    Test reduction strategies can be suggested by examining test error rates and using statistical methods. Cost-effectiveness analysis requires developing decision models and estimating health state utilities.
