    About the Course

    Predictive analytics has a longstanding tradition in medicine. Developing better prediction models is a critical step in the pursuit of improved
    health care: we need these tools to guide our decision-making on preventive measures, and individualized treatments. In order to effectively
    use and develop these models, we must understand them better. In this course, you will learn how to make accurate prediction tools, and how
    to assess their validity. First, we will discuss the role of predictive analytics for prevention, diagnosis, and effectiveness. Then, we look at key

    Great course. It goes from the basics and gradually introduces new concepts. At the beginning of the statistical part, certain knowledge is assumed, especially of regression. I took this course to be able to study the Clinical Prediction Models textbook in detail and I feel that I learned the basic vocabulary and key terms to be able to start studying. Professor Steyerberg's videos and explanations are clear, short, and direct and the effort to simplify a complex subject is appreciated. It is a fully recommended course especially now that many articles with predictive models have begun to appear, many of which lack the essential methodological elements discussed in this course.

    The course was quite detailed; it covered a wide range of topics within the shortest possible time-span. The instructors provided a surplus of study and practice material and suggestions. Thoroughly enjoyed the content as it is quite relevant to my current work as a PhD student.

    There is a Lot of concepts! It needs more hand-on practice and more indept discussion. I think the class should be extended for 2-3 more weeks to better enhance students' skills and understanding of the complex topics.
