Mathematical Models in Medical Diagnosis

Mathematical models for the ward atmosphere in a medical unit

The first model is of statistical nature. It is based on the time evolution equations for the population distributions over a "microscopic" state regarded as a random variable, which in the literature on generalized kinetic models is referred to as *activity*. Evolution is driven both by the interactions among the system *actors* (in our case, patients and staff), and by various external and in...

Learning Medical Diagnosis Models from Multiple Experts

Building classification models from clinical data often requires labeling examples by human experts. However, it is difficult to obtain a perfect set of labels everyone agrees on because medical data are typically very complicated and it is quite common that different experts have different opinions on the same patient data. A solution that has been recently explored by the research community i...

Mathematical models in physiology.

Computational modelling of biological processes and systems has witnessed a remarkable development in recent years. The search-term (modelling OR modeling) yields over 58000 entries in PubMed, with more than 34000 since the year 2000: thus, almost two-thirds of papers appeared in the last 5-6 years, compared to only about one-third in the preceding 5-6 decades. The development is fuelled both b...
