Join us on October 2nd to continue our Fall 2024 CTML Seminar Series. Wenxin Zhang's talk "Causal Inference for Evaluating the Effectiveness of Medical Tests" will take place at 11:00AM at Berkeley Way West, 5th Floor, Room 5401.
Medical tests play a critical role in detecting, diagnosing, and monitoring diseases. However, unlike treatments, administering medical tests does not directly influence health outcomes. This disconnection poses a challenge in evaluating their true effectiveness. In this presentation, I will introduce causal inference methods to assess the utility of medical tests, offering insights into their real-world implications for medical care.
