"Turning medical statistics into software - the RISK ENGINE project"
ALL WELCOME
Abstract
The 'Risk Engine' is a computer programme, based on survival models,
that forecasts risk of heart disease in patients with diabetes. I
will discuss the experience of publishing results as software as well
as journal articles, and some of the unexpected statistical issues
that have arisen.
