Discrete distributions when modeling the disability severity score of motor victims.
Many European countries apply score systems to evaluate the disability severity of non-fatal motor victims under the law of third-party liability. The score is a non-negative integer with an upper bound at 100 that increases with severity. It may be automatically converted into financial terms and thus also reflects the compensation cost for disability. In this paper, standard and zero-altered ...
متن کاملPhysiologic, demographic and mechanistic factors predicting New Injury Severity Score (NISS) in motor vehicle accident victims.
BACKGROUND Current literature on motor vehicle accidents (MVAs) has few reports regarding field factors that predict the degree of injury. Also, studies of mechanistic factors rarely consider concurrent predictive effects of on-scene patient physiology. The New Injury Severity Score (NISS) has previously been found to correlate with mortality, need for ICU admission, length of hospital stay, an...

متن کاملAge Related Multiple Sclerosis Severity Score: Disability ranked by age
BACKGROUND The Multiple Sclerosis Severity Score (MSSS) is obtained by normalising the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) score for disease duration and has been a valuable tool in cross-sectional studies. OBJECTIVE To assess whether use of age rather than the inherently ambiguous disease duration was a feasible approach. METHOD We pooled disability data from three population-based coh...
متن کاملModeling the Score Distributions of Relevant and Non-relevant Documents
Empirical modeling of the score distributions associated with retrieved documents is an essential task for many retrieval applications. In this work, we propose modeling the relevant documents’ scores by a mixture of Gaussians and modeling the non-relevant scores by a Gamma distribution. Applying variational inference we automatically trade-off the goodness-of-fit with the complexity of the mod...
