  2. Prognosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prognosis

    Prognosis (Greek: πρόγνωσις "fore-knowing, foreseeing"; pl.: prognoses) is a medical term for predicting the likelihood or expected development of a disease, including whether the signs and symptoms will improve or worsen (and how quickly) or remain stable over time; expectations of quality of life, such as the ability to carry out daily activities; the potential for complications and ...

  3. Predictive medicine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predictive_medicine

    The goal of predictive medicine is to predict the probability of future disease so that health care professionals and the patient themselves can be proactive in instituting lifestyle modifications and increased physician surveillance, such as bi-annual full body skin exams by a dermatologist or internist if their patient is found to have an increased risk of melanoma, an EKG and cardiology ...

  4. Prognostics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prognostics

    Data-driven prognostics usually use pattern recognition and machine learning techniques to detect changes in system states. [3] The classical data-driven methods for nonlinear system prediction include the use of stochastic models such as the autoregressive (AR) model, the threshold AR model, the bilinear model, the projection pursuit, the multivariate adaptive regression splines, and the ...

  5. Predictive modelling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predictive_modelling

    The first clinical prediction model reporting guidelines were published in 2015 (Transparent reporting of a multivariable prediction model for individual prognosis or diagnosis (TRIPOD)), and have since been updated. [10] Predictive modelling has been used to estimate surgery duration.

  6. Predictive genomics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predictive_genomics

    Specifically, predictive genomics deals with the future phenotypic outcomes via prediction in areas such as complex multifactorial diseases in humans. [1] To date, the success of predictive genomics has been dependent on the genetic framework underlying these applications, typically explored in genome-wide association (GWA) studies. [2]

  7. Diagnosis (artificial intelligence) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diagnosis_(artificial...

    Model-based diagnosis is an example of abductive reasoning using a model of the system. In general, it works as follows: Principle of the model-based diagnosis. We have a model that describes the behaviour of the system (or artefact). The model is an abstraction of the behaviour of the system and can be incomplete.

  8. Clinical prediction rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clinical_prediction_rule

    In a prediction rule study, investigators identify a consecutive group of patients who are suspected of having a specific disease or outcome. The investigators then obtain a standard set of clinical observations on each patient and a test or clinical follow-up to define the true state of the patient.

  9. Bayesian approaches to brain function - Wikipedia

    This treatment implies that the system’s state and structure encode an implicit and probabilistic model of the environment." [ 33 ] This area of research was summarized in terms understandable by the layperson in a 2008 article in New Scientist that offered a unifying theory of brain function. [ 34 ]
