Data Modelling Predictive Preparation

Abstract

Predictive modelling is aimed at developing tools that can be used for individual prediction of the most likely value of a continuous measure, or the probability of the occurrence (or recurrence) of an event. There has been a huge increase in popularity of developing tools for prediction of outcomes at the level of the individual patient. For instance, a recent review identified a total of 363 articles that described the development of prediction models for the risk of cardiovascular disease in the general population alone
