Transfer and transport: incorporating causal methods for improving predictive models.
Predicting patient outcome is an important task in medical decision making, as clinician expectations of outcome drive testing and treatment decisions. Accurate models can assist clinicians by capitalizing on information from a broad spectrum of features to predict outcome. In an article in this journal, ‘A study in transfer learning: leveraging data from multiple hospitals to enhance hospital-...
متن کاملImproving predictive models of glaucoma severity by incorporating quality indicators
OBJECTIVE In this paper we present an evaluation of the role of reliability indicators in glaucoma severity prediction. In particular, we investigate whether it is possible to extract useful information from tests that would be normally discarded because they are considered unreliable. METHODS We set up a predictive modelling framework to predict glaucoma severity from visual field (VF) tests...
متن کاملRegression Can Build Predictive Causal Models
Covariance information can help an algorithm search for predictive causal models and estimate the strengths of causal relationships. This information should not be discarded after conditional independence constraints are identi ed, as is usual in contemporary causal induction algorithms. Our fbd algorithm combines covariance information with an e ective heuristic to build predictive causal mode...
متن کاملComments: Improving Weighting Methods for Causal Mediation Analysis
I begin this discussion by thanking Larry Hedges, the editor of the journal, for giving me an opportunity to provide a commentary on this stimulating article. I also would like to congratulate the authors of the article for their insightful discussion on causal mediation analysis, which is one of the most important and challenging methodological problems we face in the literature of causal infe...
متن کاملIncorporating environment models for improving vision-based tracking of people
This paper presents a method for real-time 3D human tracking based on the particle filter by incorporating environment models. We track a human head represented with its 3D position and orientation by integrating the multiple cues from a set of distributed sensors. In particular, the multi-viewpoint color and depth images obtained from distributed stereo camera systems and the 3D shape of an in...
