Patterns of Tomorrow | Kitson Maxxing Learning, Book 1 (Maxxing Edition)

How can a model estimate breast-cancer risk from an ordinary mammogram, and how did another one flag a new antibiotic candidate? Regina Barzilay, the Mirai risk model and the search for halicin.

Read before you buy: the free sample (the foreword and chapter one), and the free video.

The full story of the Mirai breast-cancer risk model and the halicin antibiotic candidate from Regina Barzilay's MIT group and its partners: the world before, the teams, both methods explained properly, the key papers and their numbers, adoption with every institutional figure attributed, a full chapter on limits and disputes, and lessons for today.

Inside:

• Both methods, explained properly
• Every figure sourced and dated
• The honest limits, in full
• Timeline, glossary and key papers annotated

Written for clinicians, engineers and curious readers who would rather have the honest version than the exciting one.

Not for you if you are looking for medical guidance about your own screening: a risk score is not a diagnosis, and this book is not medical advice.
