Patient Activity in Hospital using Discrete Conditional Phase-type (DC-Ph) Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
Previous research introduced Conditional Phase-type distributions (C-Ph) consisting of a Coxian phase-type distribution conditioned on a BN where the phase-type distribution represents a continuous survival variable, the duration of time until a particular event occurs and the BN represents a network of inter-related variables. The C-Ph model has proved to be a suitable technique for modeling patient duration of stay in hospital characterized by the patient’s characteristics on admission to hospital. This paper expands upon this technique to form a family of DC-Ph models of which the C-Ph is a member and applies the models to modeling patient stay in hospital based a set of inter-related discrete covariates.

Classification and properties of acyclic discrete phase-type distributions based on geometric and shifted geometric distributions
Acyclic phase-type distributions form a versatile model, serving as approximations to many probability distributions in various circumstances. They exhibit special properties and characteristics that usually make their applications attractive. Compared to acyclic continuous phase-type (ACPH) distributions, acyclic discrete phase-type (ADPH) distributions and their subclasses (ADPH family) have ...

Dynamic Compaction (DC) is a common deep compaction method that is usually used for densification of coarse-grained soils. Although traditional continuum-based models such as the Finite Element Method can be successfully applied for assessment of stress distributions or deformations induced by DC, they are typically not adequate for capturing the grain scale mechanisms of soil behavior under im...

Fossil energy markets have always been known as strategic and important markets. They have a significant impact on the macro economy and financial markets of the world. The nature of these markets are accompanied by sudden shocks and volatility in the prices. Therefore, they must be controlled and forecasted by using appropriate tools. This paper adopts the Generalized Auto Regressive Condition...

متن کاملInvestigating Patient Rights and Associated Demographic and Hospital Factors Using Approach of Two-Level Linear Regression Models In the Hospitals of Tehran University of Medical Sciences
One of the main issues in hospitals is evaluation of efficiency and effectiveness. For this purpose, several indicators are presented, which are known as functional indicators. If the performance of hospitals depends on the patient's demographic characteristics, overlooking effect of hospital indicators, as an effective factor at a higher level on the patient rights, may lead to inaccurate conc...
