An Information-Based Bayesian Approach to History Taking
نویسندگان
چکیده
EEective history-taking systems need to dynamically reduce the number of questions to ask. This can be done either categorically or probabilistically, by exploiting previous patient's answers. In this paper , we propose a probabilistic information-based history-taking strategy that combines synergistically two information-content measures for reducing the number of questions asked. We have applied this strategy to an existing history-taking system and some preliminary results seem to connrm our initial intuitions.

متن کاملBayesian Sample size Determination for Longitudinal Studies with Continuous Response using Marginal Models
Introduction Longitudinal study designs are common in a lot of scientific researches, especially in medical, social and economic sciences. The reason is that longitudinal studies allow researchers to measure changes of each individual over time and often have higher statistical power than cross-sectional studies. Choosing an appropriate sample size is a crucial step in a successful study. A st...

The interactions among peers in Peer-to-Peer systems as a distributed collaborative system are based on asynchronous and unreliable communications. Trust is an essential and facilitating component in these interactions specially in such uncertain environments. Various attacks are possible due to large-scale nature and openness of these systems that affects the trust. Peers has not enough inform...
