Bayesian hierarchical modeling of longitudinal glaucomatous visual fields using a two-stage approach.
The Bayesian approach has become increasingly popular because it allows to fit quite complex models to data via Markov chain Monte Carlo sampling. However, it is also recognized nowadays that Markov chain Monte Carlo sampling can become computationally prohibitive when applied to a large data set. We encountered serious computational difficulties when fitting an hierarchical model to longitudin...
متن کاملPOINTWISE LINEAR REGRESSION OF GLAUCOMATOUS VISUAL FIELDS A new approach
Background: Pointwise linear regression is an effective technique for reliable early detection of glaucomatous visual field progression. However, if regression is always begun from the first field in a series, it is possible that a decline in sensitivity will be detected relatively late if it occurs after a period of stability. Thus, a new algorithm in which each field in a series was analyzed ...
متن کاملModelling and Forecasting of Glaucomatous Visual Fields Using Genetic Algorithms
The prediction of visual field deterioration in patients who are suffering from normal tension glaucoma plays an important role in the management of the disease. The Vector Auto-Regressive (VAR) process appears to be an appropriate way of modelling the multivariate time series data from the visual fields. However, standard parameterisation techniques such as the Yule-Walker equations for buildi...
متن کاملTwo-dimensional modeling of visual receptive fields using Gaussian subunits.
Retinal ganglion cell receptive fields have been successfully described using the difference of Gaussians model introduced by Rodieck. As the basic elements of retinal receptive fields are well described by the Gaussian function, it is natural to model receptive fields beyond this level as a convergence of Gaussian subunits. In this paper the full two-dimensional solution to the problem of calc...
متن کاملClassification Using a Hierarchical Bayesian Approach
A key problem faced by classifiers is coping with styles not represented in the training set. We present an application of hierarchical Bayesian methods to the problem of recognizing degraded printed characters in a variety of fonts. The proposed method works by using training data of various styles and classes to compute prior distributions on the parameters for the class conditional distribut...
