Hello Ned,
Had you thought of getting hold of enough data to construct a Kock 2nd order regression ?
Like your "not Fooled by Randomness" approach.

Hi Leon.
First I would have to find some time to breathe, as I am up to my ears with work these days. I don't even know how I can find time to blog.
But if I could, in the future, I would love to work on something like a nonlinear regression model in collaboration with medical researchers. Software to do the analyses already exists: warppls.com.
awesome. thanks.
I've been wonder, why they don't use at least at least use 2nd order fit. or some other parametric fit of other basis. it's not that hard & one page Matlab script can do it. (FYI i'm a physicist)
but i guess it is beyond most MDs ability as most of them are rather poor at math. XD
yes, please could you find a better fit?
sorry. i am trying to get follow-up emails. & could not do it without leaving another (useless) comment.
regards,
Hi Gee.
Still, it seems that the Iranian eq., as is and at least for those with low trigs, yields reasonably reliable LDL-C figures.
Really great post, Thank you for sharing This knowledge.Excellently written article, if only all bloggers offered the same level of content as you, the internet would be a much better place. Please keep it up!
My total cholesterol is 235.
HDL is 75.
Triglycerides are 56.
Would this Iranian equation be a better indicator for me?
Thank you.
