ABOUT THE BOOK

In Risk and Medical Decision Making, Part 1 is developed inside the expected utility (E-U) model and analyses how comorbidity risks affect the well-known analyses how comorbidity risks affect the well-known “test-treatment” thresholds. Part 2 is devoted to a specific non E-U model with the same purpose: how would one define a threshold in this context and how would one value a diagnostic test? In each of these two parts both diagnostic and therapeutic risks are considered.
