A simple C-statistic is presented which consistently estimates a conventional concordance measure which is free of censoring and results from numerical studies suggest that the new procedure performs well in finite sample.
Evaluating Prediction Rules for t-Year Survivors With Censored Regression Models
Suppose that we are interested in establishing simple but reliable rules for predicting future t-year survivors through censored regression models. In this article we present inference procedures for…

A genetic risk score for type 2 diabetes was developed that combined data on 10 polymorphisms and the score improved risk prediction modestly when considered in addition to conventional risk factors.

Initial 320-detector row coronary CT images have consistently excellent quality and iodinated contrast opacification and future work will focus on lowering contrast and radiation dose while maintaining image quality.
A unified inference procedure for a class of measures to assess improvement in risk prediction systems with survival data
A class of measures for evaluating the incremental values of new markers, which includes the preceding two as special cases are considered, and a unified procedure for making inferences about measures in the class with censored event time data is presented.

Simulation studies suggest that AUC-based classification scores have performance comparable with logistic likelihood-based scores when the logistic regression model holds, and model fitting by maximizing the AUC should be considered when the goal is to derive a marker combination score for classification or prediction.

This article proposes a systematic, 2-stage estimation procedure for the subject-level treatment differences for future patient's disease management and treatment selections using a parametric or semiparametric method and a nonparametric function estimation method.
Semiparametric regression analysis for doubly censored data
