Modeling Healthcare Data using Markov Decision Process

Outline Objective Background: Stochastic tools used in healthcare MDP in healthcare Preliminaries Optimality Equations and the Principle of Optimality Solving MDPs Examples References Objective: To discuss the construction and evaluation of Markov Decision Process (MDP) To investigate the role of MDP in healthcare. To identify the most appropriate solution techniques for finite and infinite-hor...

Using Decision Trees to Understand Student Data

We apply and evaluate a decision tree algorithm to university records, producing human-readable graphs that are useful both for predicting graduation, and understanding factors that lead to graduation. We compare this method to that of nueral networks, Support Vector Machines, and Kernel Regression, and show that it is equally powerful as a classificaion tool. At the same time, decision trees p...

Optimizing Red Blood Cells Consumption Using Markov Decision Process

In healthcare systems, one of the important actions is related to perishable products such as red blood cells (RBCs) units that its consumption management in different periods can contribute greatly to the optimality of the system. In this paper, main goal is to enhance the ability of medical community to organize the RBCs units’ consumption in way to deliver the unit order timely with a focus ...

Using decision trees to understand structure in missing data

OBJECTIVES Demonstrate the application of decision trees--classification and regression trees (CARTs), and their cousins, boosted regression trees (BRTs)--to understand structure in missing data. SETTING Data taken from employees at 3 different industrial sites in Australia. PARTICIPANTS 7915 observations were included. MATERIALS AND METHODS The approach was evaluated using an occupationa...
