A Bayesian model decision support system: dryland salinity management application
Addressing environmental management problems at catchment scales requires an integrated modelling approach, in which key bio-physical and socio-economic drivers, processes and impacts are all considered. Development of Decision Support Systems (DSSs) for environmental management is rapidly progressing. This paper describes the integration of physical, ecological, and socio-economic components i...
متن کاملA Progressive Explanation of Inference in 'Hybrid' Bayesian Networks for Supporting Clinical Decision Making
Many Bayesian networks (BNs) have been developed as decision support tools. However, far fewer have been used in practice. Sometimes it is assumed that an accurate prediction is enough for useful decision support but this neglects the importance of trust: a user who does not trust a tool will not accept its advice. Giving users an explanation of the way a BN reasons may make its predictions eas...
متن کاملSystem Factors Influencing the Australian Nurses' Evidence-based Clinical Decision Making: A Systematic Review of Recent Studies
Background: There is growing attention to evidence-based practice in Australian clinical contexts and nursing literature. Recent research explores the dimensions of evidence-based practice; however, the implementation of evidence-based clinical decision making has been identified as a cumbersome process. Aim: This study aimed to review the literature syst...
متن کاملUsing Dynamic Bayesian Networks for a Decision Support System Application to the Monitoring of Patients Treated by Hemodialysis
A Bayesian network is a graphical model that encodes probabilistic relationships among variables of interest. Dynamic Bayesian networks are an extension of Bayesian networks for modeling dynamic processes. In this paper we present a decision support system based on a dynamic Bayesian network. Its purpose is to monitor the dry weight of patients suffering from chronic renal failure treated by he...
متن کاملArchitectures Integrating Case-Based Reasoning and Bayesian Networks for Clinical Decision Support
In this paper we discuss different architectures for reasoning under uncertainty related to our ongoing research into building a medical decision support system. The uncertainty in the medical domain can be divided into a well understood part and a less understood part. This motivates the use of a hybrid decision support system, and in particular, we argue that a Bayesian network should be used...
