The software is designed to allow you to calculate clinical prediction rules with the ease and convenience of the computer. Simply check the boxes, click enter and receive the probabilities.

From the reviews: "Evidence-Based Diagnosis is succinctly and authoritatively written. It includes an excellent summary of the principles of Bayesian statistics ... . I have no doubt that Ebell's set of accessible prediction rules will help busy clinicians use best evidence more frequently and more systematically in the clinic and at the bedside." (Trisha Greenhalgh, www.medscape.com, 2002)
