Two-dimensional imaging of tumour control probabilities and normal tissue complication probabilities.
AIM To create a presentation method of TCP and NTCP distributions calculated based on dose distribution for a selected CT slice. MATERIALS AND METHODS Three 24-bit colour maps - of dose distribution, delineated structures and CT information - were converted into m-by-n-by-3 data arrays, containing intensities of red, green, and blue colour components for each pixel. All calculations were perf...
متن کاملCalculating normal tissue complication probabilities and probabilities of complication-free tumour control from stochastic models of population dynamics
We use a stochastic birth-death model for a population of cells to estimate the normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) under a particular radiotherapy protocol. We specifically allow for interaction between cells, via a nonlinear logistic growth model. To capture some of the effects of intrinsic noise in the population we develop several approximations of NTCP, using Kramers–Moyal expans...
متن کاملAnother View of the Classical Problem of Comparing Two Probabilities
The usual calculation of the P-value for the classical problem of comparing probabilities is not always accurate. This issue arose in the context of a legal dispute which depended on when some written material was written in a diary. The problem raises some issues on the foundations of statistical inference.
متن کاملExponential Models: Approximations for Probabilities
Welch & Peers (1963) used a root-information prior to obtain posterior probabilities for a scalar parameter exponential model and showed that these Bayes probabilities had the confidence property to second order asymptotically. An important undercurrent of this indicates that the constant information reparameterization provides location model structure, for which the confidence property ...
متن کاملOn the universality of crossing probabilities in two-dimensional percolation†
The geometrical explanation of universality in terms of fixed points of renormalization-group transformations has met with enormous success, but its lack of precision continues to present a challenge to the mathematician, even for relatively simple models, such as percolation in two dimensions. To begin to reflect on the problem, one can assume that the crossing probabilities (cf. [5]) at the c...
