- Title
Projecting the Benefits and Harms of Mammography Using Statistical Models: Proof or Proofiness?
- Authors
Kramer, Barnett S.; Elmore, Joann G.
- Abstract
The authors comment on the use of statistical models to determine the pros and cons of using mammography screening. They examine the complex statistical microsimulation models used in a study that determined the balance of benefits and harms of routine screening mammography. They also describe major components of uncertainty that apply to forecasting models.
