This page provides resources for a small booklet I have developed, “An introduction to diagnostic testing.” I have printed a few of these booklets and attached a fully constructed version of the likelihood ratio slide rule. If you are teaching a class and want to incorporate this material, I am willing to offer a reasonable number of copies of this for free. In exchange, I’d like you to offer some feedback about this booklet. Eventually, I want to expand this into a larger project, possibly a book.
If you want to download this material directly, please note that I have links to some of these resources.
- a PDF version of the booklet,
- a PDF image of the likelihood ratio slide rule with instructions on how to construct it,
- examples of how to use the likelihood ratio slide rule
- an annotated bibliography with links to the full free text when available, and
- links to pages on my site that I used to create this booklet.
