You are probably right nothing on this seems to have been published on this topic in the medical literature I am a Prof of Mathematics not of Medicine or medical sciences Besides my articles in Annals of Probability 2000 and 2003 it has been published in terms of the most important example for applications of the odds algorithm in The art of a right decision which appeared in three national editions of the Scientific American Spektrum der Wissenschaft 2005 June Vol pp 78 84 in German Pour la Science in French Sept Vol 2005 pp 56 62 and in Al Aloom in Arabic and then in E n g l i s h in the Newsletter of the European Math Society I hope doctors will think it over more deeply because it is important Having said this you have convinced me that Wikipaedia is not the place to attract attention Thank you F T Bruss
