Comparison of a Bayesian Network with a Logistic Regression Model to Forecast IgA Nephropathy

Comparison of a Bayesian Network with a Logistic Regression Model to Forecast IgA Nephropathy

Models are increasingly used in clinical practice to improve the accuracy of diagnosis. The aim of our work was to compare a Bayesian network to logistic regression to forecast IgA nephropathy (IgAN) from simple clinical and biological criteria. Retrospectively, we pooled the results of all biopsies (n = 155) performed by nephrologists in a specialist clinical facility between 2002 and 2009. Tw...

a comparison of teachers and supervisors, with respect to teacher efficacy and reflection

supervisors play an undeniable role in training teachers, before starting their professional experience by preparing them, at the initial years of their teaching by checking their work within the proper framework, and later on during their teaching by assessing their progress. but surprisingly, exploring their attributes, professional demands, and qualifications has remained a neglected theme i...

Bayesian Logistic Regression Model Choice via Laplace-Metropolis Algorithm

Following a Bayesian statistical inference paradigm, we provide an alternative methodology for analyzing a multivariate logistic regression. We use a multivariate normal prior in the Bayesian analysis. We present a unique Bayes estimator associated with a prior which is admissible. The Bayes estimators of the coefficients of the model are obtained via MCMC methods. The proposed procedure...

Comparison of artificial neural network with logistic regression in prediction of tendency to surgical intervention in nurses

Introduction: Logistic regression is one of the modeling methods for bipartite dependent variables. On the other hand, artificial neural network is a flexible method with the least limitation. The importance of growing unnecessary beauty surgeries and the importance of prediction and classification made us consider the present study, with the aim of comparing logistic regression and artificial ...
