Emergency admissions (EA), where a patient requires urgent in-hospital care, are a major challenge for healthcare systems. The development of risk prediction models can partly alleviate this problem by supporting primary care interventions and public...

Holdout Sets for Safe Predictive Model Updating (2024)
Journal Article
Haidar-Wehbe, S., Emerson, S. R., Aslett, L. J., & Liley, J. (in press). Holdout Sets for Safe Predictive Model Updating. Annals of Applied Statistics,

Predictive risk scores for adverse outcomes are increasingly crucial in guiding health interventions. Such scores may need to be periodically updated due to change in the distributions they model. However, directly updating risk scores used to guide... Read More about Holdout Sets for Safe Predictive Model Updating.
