Methods for Evaluating Mammography Imaging Techniques.

Abstract

Dr. Rutter sought this Department of Defense Breast Cancer Research Program Career Development Award to further develop the skills, knowledge, and experience that will enable her to develop biostatistical methods for breast cancer research. She is on track with her stated goals. During the first award year, she has succeeded in gaining knowledge about breast cancer epidemiology, and has made significant progress toward statistical research goals. Evaluation of a bootstrap approach to accuracy estimation is nearly complete. This evaluation extends the research proposed in the original application to include a comparison against a new estimator, a description of a bootstrap estimate that adjusts for verification bias, and a description of the bootstrap estimator in a multi-reader study.
