Risk-evaluation in clinical diagnostic studies: ascertaining statistical bounds via logistic regression of medical informatics dataUnknown Date (has links)
The efforts addressed in this thesis refer to applying nonlinear risk predictive techniques based on logistic regression to medical diagnostic test data. This study is motivated and pursued to address the following: 1. To extend logistic regression model of biostatistics to medical informatics 2. Computational preemptive and predictive testing to determine the probability of occurrence (p) of an event by fitting a data set to a (logit function) logistic curve: Finding upper and lower bounds on p based on stochastical considerations 3. Using the model developed on available (clinical) data to illustrate the bounds-limited performance of the prediction. Relevant analytical methods, computational efforts and simulated results are presented. Using the results compiled, the risk evaluation in medical diagnostics is discussed with real-world examples. Conclusions are enumerated and inferences are made with directions for future studies. / by Alice Horn Dupont. / Thesis (M.S.C.S.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2011. / Includes bibliography. / Electronic reproduction.

Automating pilot function performance assesssment using fuzzy systems and a genetic algorithmZaspel, Joachim C. 16 July 1997 (has links)
Modern civil commercial transport aircraft provide the means for the safest of all
forms of transportation. While advanced computer technology ranging from flight
management computers to warning and alerting devices contributed to flight safety
significantly, it is undisputed that the flightcrew represents the most frequent primary
cause factor in airline accidents. From a system perspective, machine actors such as the
autopilot and human actors (the flightcrew) try to achieve goals (desired states of the
aircraft). The set of activities to achieve a goal is called a function. In modern
flightdecks both machine actors and human actors perform functions. Recent accident
studies suggest that deficiencies in the flightcrew's ability to monitor how well either
machines or themselves perform a function are a factor in many accidents and incidents.
As humans are inherently bad monitors, this study proposes a method to automatically
assess the status of a function in order to increase flight safety as part of an intelligent
pilot aid, called the AgendaManager. The method was implemented for the capture
altitude function: seeking to attain and maintain a target altitude. Fuzzy systems were
used to compute outputs indicating how well the capture altitude function was performed
from inputs describing the state of the aircraft. In order to conform to human expert
assessments, the fuzzy systems were trained using a genetic algorithm (GA) whose
objective was to minimize the discrepancy between system outputs and human expert
assessments based on 72 scenarios. The resulting systems were validated by analyzing
how well they conformed to new data drawn from another 32 scenarios. The results of
the study indicated that even though the training procedure facilitated by the GA was able
to improve conformance to human expert assessments, overall the systems performed too
poorly to be deployed in a real environment. Nevertheless, experience and insights
gained from the study will be valuable in the development of future automated systems to
perform function assessment. / Graduation date: 1998

Development and comparison of two alternate display formats for an AgendaManager interfaceWilson, Robert B. (Robert Brian) 05 June 1997 (has links)
Modern commercial air travel is considered by most transportation specialists to be the safest of all forms of transportation. While safe, any loss of life is tragic and the only really acceptable state of commercial air transport safety is that of 'zero-tolerance' where no accident is acceptable.
Research has demonstrated that the largest single causal component for airline accidents is the flightcrew. In addition, the recent automation of these machines has created many new safety concerns involving flightcrew situational awareness, human-machine interfacing, workload, attention, and complexity, to name a few.
These concerns led to a series of studies developing, refining, and testing numerous aspects of this issue. The studies incorporated ASRS (Aviation Safety Reporting System) incident reports, NTSB (National Transportation Safety Board) and other accident reports, and the development of a CTM (cockpit task management) system. The information gained from this research led to the development of an agent-based cockpit task aiding system termed the AgendaManager.
A traditional text-based display similar to that used in the CTMS study was developed, optimized, and integrated with existing systems like EICAS (Engine Indicating and Crew Alerting System) using a visual display development guide developed from a literature review. An alternate display incorporating graphics and located on the primary flight display (PFD) was also developed in an effort to improve pilot agenda management performance. Both of the interfaces were developed using a comprehensive visual display design guide compiled through a literature review.
The Agenda Manager displays were tested in order to determine if the PFD enhancements improved agenda management performance. Eleven general aviation pilots participated in the study, three in the pilot study and eight in the main study. Results from the main study indicate little, if any, difference in agenda management performance in regards to the display format used. In general, the study demonstrated the usefulness of the display guidelines, importance of tracking instrument rating when using general aviation pilots in an experiment, and the equivalence of 'round-trip' scenarios. / Graduation date: 1998

Learning and planning in structured worldsDearden, Richard W. 11 1900 (has links)
This thesis is concerned with the problem of how to make decisions in an uncertain
world. We use a model of uncertainty based on Markov decision problems, and
develop a number of algorithms for decision-making both for the planning problem,
in which the model is known in advance, and for the reinforcement learning problem
in which the decision-making agent does not know the model and must learn to make
good decisions by trial and error.
The basis for much of this work is the use of structural representations of
problems. If a problem is represented in a structured way we can compute or
learn plans that take advantage of this structure for computational gains. This
is because the structure allows us to perform abstraction. Rather than reasoning
about each situation in which a decision must be made individually, abstraction
allows us to group situations together and reason about a whole set of them in a
single step. Our approach to abstraction has the additional advantage that we can
dynamically change the level of abstraction, splitting a group of situations in two if
they need to be reasoned about separately to find an acceptable plan, or merging
two groups together if they no longer need to be distinguished. We present two
planning algorithms and one learning algorithm that use this approach.
A second idea we present in this thesis is a novel approach to the exploration
problem in reinforcement learning. The problem is to select actions to perform
given that we would like good performance now and in the future. We can select
the current best action to perform, but this may prevent us from discovering that
another action is better, or we can take an exploratory action, but we risk performing
poorly now as a result. Our Bayesian approach makes this tradeoff explicit by
representing our uncertainty about the values of states and using this measure of
uncertainty to estimate the value of the information we could gain by performing
each action. We present both model-free and model-based reinforcement learning
algorithms that make use of this exploration technique.
Finally, we show how these ideas fit together to produce a reinforcement
learning algorithm that uses structure to represent both the problem being solved
and the plan it learns, and that selects actions to perform in order to learn using
our Bayesian approach to exploration.
