  • An introduction to the calibration and update methods of clinical prediction models and its implementation by R software

    The accuracy of the clinical prediction model determines its extrapolation and application value. When the prediction model is applied to a new setting, the differences between the new population and the initially modeled population in terms of study time, population characteristics, region, and other factors could lead to a reduction in its predictive performance. Calibrating or updating the prediction model with appropriate statistical methods is important to improve the accuracy of the prediction model in new populations. The model updating methods mainly include regression coefficients updating, meta-model updating and dynamic model updating. However, due to the limitations of meta-model updating and dynamic model updating in practical applications, the regression coefficient updating method is still the most common method in model updating. This paper introducd several types of model updating methods, the regression coefficients updating methods for two common clinical prediction models based on Logistic regression and Cox regression, and provide corresponding R codes for reference of researchers.
