Medical decision making has evolved in recent years, as more complex problems are being faced and addressed based on increasingly large amounts of data. In parallel, advances in computing power have led to a host of new and powerful statistical tools to support decision making. Simulation–based Bayesian methods are especially promising, as they provide a unified framework for data collection, inference, and decision making. In addition, these methods are simple to implement and can help to address the most pressing practical and ethical concerns arising in medical decision making.Provides an overview of the necessary methodological background, including Bayesian inference, Monte Carlo simulation, and utility theory. Driven by three real applications, presented as extensively detailed case studies. Case studies include simplified versions of the analysis, to approach complexmodelling in stages. Features coverage of meta–analysis, decision analysis, and...
