itemization(
it() In addition to breast cancer simulations sr() can also perform lung
cancer simulations for either men or women. By default breast cancer
simulations are performed.
it() The configuration file was reorganized and extended with parameters
used when performing lung cancer simulations: specifications for
tt(CT) scans; additional Tumor tt(Beir7, Growth, Incidence,) and
tt(Survival) parameters, and a new section tt(S3) containing the
age-range specific probabilities of encountering metastases.
it() Sr() offers the new option tt(--cancer) specifying the type of
simulation.
)
When performing lung cancer simulations only the tt(CT) modality can be
specified. When performing breast cancer simulations the tt(CT) modality
cannot be specified, but as with previous versions: any combination of the
tt(Mammo, Tomo) and tt(MRI) modalities can be specified.
manpagesection(Changes introduced in version 14.04.00)
itemization(
it() Parameters affected by tt(spread: true)nl()
Parameters that may vary are specified using triplets: value, spread
and distribution. In all cases the spread values and distribution
names are optional: they can both be omitted or both must be
specified. If these parameters are not specified then their tt(value)
parameter won't vary if tt(spread: true) is specified;
it() The tt(Mammo, Tomo,) and tt(MRI) modalities are provided with std.dev
and distribution parameters for their tt(Dose, M, Beta, Specificity,)
and tt(Sensitivity) parameters;
it() When tt(spread: true) is specified the actually used and original
parameter values are listed in a file, by default tt(spread-$.txt),
where tt($) is replaced by the loop iteration index. Use the option
tt(-s) to specify a non-default filename (cf. bf(simrisc)(1));
it() Age ranges no longer have trailing colons;
it() The Case-specific data matrix defines an extra (18th) column, showing
the results of the screening rounds for each simulated case;
it() The order of the tt(beir7 beta) and tt(eta) parameters is reversed:
tt(eta) is specified first, followed by tt(beta). The tt(spread) and
tt(distribution) parameters following tt(beta) apply to tt(beta), and
not to tt(eta), which is a fixed value.
