  1. Local Estimation of Patient Prognosis

    Statistical methods that can provide patients and their healthcare providers with individual predictions are needed so that informed medical decisions can be made. Ideally an individual prediction would display the full range of possible outcomes (full predictive distribution), would be obtained …

  10. Predicting mortality for patients in critical care : a univariate flagging approach

    Predicting outcomes for critically ill patients is a topic of considerable interest. The most widely used models utilize data from early in a patient's stay to predict risk of death. While research has shown that use of daily information, including trends in key variables, can improve predictions …
