Switched affine models for describing nonlinear systems
In this work, a recursive procedure is derived for the identification of switched affine models from input-output data. Starting from some initial values of the parameter vectors that represent the different submodels, the proposed algorithm alternates between data assignment to submodels and parameter update. At each time instant, the discrete state is determined as the index of the submodel t...
متن کاملDynamic, Multi-Level Network Models of Clinical Trials
While networks models have often been applied to complex biological systems, they are increasingly being implemented to investigate clinical questions. Clinical trials have been studied extensively by traditional statistical methods but never, to our knowledge, using networks. We obtained data for 6,847 clinical trials from five "Nervous System Diseases" (NSD) and five "Behaviors and Mental Dis...
متن کاملDynamic Bayesian networks as prognostic models for clinical patient management
Prognostic models in medicine are usually been built using simple decision rules, proportional hazards models, or Markov models. Dynamic Bayesian networks (DBNs) offer an approach that allows for the incorporation of the causal and temporal nature of medical domain knowledge as elicited from domain experts, thereby allowing for detailed prognostic predictions. The aim of this paper is to descri...
متن کاملEvaluation of Clinical Trials
In a number of important clinical issues such as evaluation of the efficacy or effectiveness of therapeutic or preventive interventions as well as for comparing the harms of interventions, randomized controlled trials (RCTs) provide the highest levels of evidence, either directly or indirectly. It is obvious that critical appraisal of these studies to assess their validity and precision is of p...
متن کاملMedicinal plants for gingivitis: a review of clinical trials
Objective(s): Periodontal diseases are among prevalent oral health problems which may ultimately lead to severe complications in oral cavity. Herbal products can be designed as single or multicomponent preparations for better oral health. This study aims to review current clinical trials on the effectiveness of herbal products in gingivitis. Materials and Methods: Electronic databases, includin...
