โฆ Synopsis
Economic screening procedures based on a continuous screening variable X in place of a dichotomous performance variable T are presented. Optimal critical values on the screening variable minimizing the expected cost are obtained for two models; it is assumed that X given T is normally distributed in normal model and P [ T = 1 1 x 1 is a logistic function of X in the logistic model, and that costs are incurred by screening inspection and misclassification errors. Cases where some parameters are unknown are also considered.

For diseases with a genetic component, logistic regression models are presented that incorporate family history in a quantitative way. In the largest model, every type of relative has their own regression coefficient. The other two models are submodels, which incorporate family history either by the
