We present the most comprehensive comparison to date of the predictive benefit of genetics in addition to currently used clinical variables, using genotype data for 33 singleβnucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 1,547 Caucasian men from the placebo arm of the REduction by DUtasteride of prostate Cance

Classical methods are inapplicable in estimation problems involving non-identifiable parameters. Bayesian methods, on the other hand, are often both feasible and intuitively reasonable in such problems. This paper establishes the foundations for studying the efficacy of Bayesian updating in estimati
In a companion paper, derive the limiting posterior estimate of the multiple decrement function (MDP), relative to a Dirichlet process prior. It is noted there that, due to the nonidentifiability of the MDF in competing risks problems, the limiting posterior estimate can be inferior to the estimate
In an earlier paper, the authors studied the behavior of Bayes estimators of the multiple decrement function in the competing risks problem using a Dirichlet process prior with a continuous prior measure ~. Certain applications, including the analysis of life tables based on grouped data, require a
