The interpretation of time-varying data with DIAMON-1

نویسنده

چکیده

Applying the methods of Artificial Intelligence to clinical monitoring requires some kind of signal-to-symbol conversion as a prior step. Subsequent processing of the derived symbolic information must also be sensitive to history and development, as the failure to address temporal relationships between findings invariably leads to inferior results. DIAMON-1, a framework for the design of diagnostic monitors, provides two methods for the interpretation of time-varying data: one for the detection of trends based on classes of courses, and one for the tracking of disease histories modelled through deterministic automata. Both methods make use of fuzzy set theory taking account of the elasticity of medical categories and allowing discrete disease models to mirror the patient's continuous progression through the stages of illness.

Modeling and Forecasting Iranian Inflation with Time Varying BVAR Models

This paper investigates the forecasting performance of different time-varying BVAR models for Iranian inflation. Forecast accuracy of a BVAR model with Litterman’s prior compared with a time-varying BVAR model (a version introduced by Doan et al., 1984); and a modified time-varying BVAR model, where the autoregressive coefficients are held constant and only the deterministic components are allo...

Integrating Model-Based Monitoring and Diagnosis of Complex Dynamic Systems

In this paper we present a new approach to model-based monitoring and diagnosis of dynamic systems. We extend related research work which concentrates either on monitoring (i .e . fault detection) or on diagnosis (i .e . fault localization) and therefore misses important aspects of effective and efficient troubleshooting . The presented DIAMON algorithm) uses hierarchical models to monitor and ...

Two-Stage Interpretation of ICU Data Based on Fuzzy Sets

Intelligent on-line monitoring of ICU patients requires mechanisms to detect and interpret significant patterns in the flood of recorded data. Many monitoring methods have been proposed, ranging from simple surveillance of thresholds to complex reasoning about and forecasting of the patient ́s behaviour based on computational models of the human organism. From the many components that constitute...
