Biodiversity and Human Values

17.2K
Human civilization relies on biodiversity in many ways. Sudden changes in species biodiversity result in environmental changes that can modify weather patterns and therefore human civilizations.

Professional Values

11.0K
Nurses are responsible for caring for patients during birth, death, illness, and healing. Professional values guide the decisions and actions that nurses make in their careers. If nurses know the decisions and actions to take, providing patients with exceptional care is possible.
The values that are the foundation of the nursing profession are altruism, autonomy, human dignity, and social justice.
First, altruism refers to the concern for the welfare and well-being of others without personal...

Critical Values01:31

Critical Values

10.4K
A critical value is a definite value obtained from a particular probability distribution at a predecided confidence level (or a predecided significance level) for a given population parameter. The critical value provides demarcation that separates the sample statistics that are likely to occur from the ones that are unlikely to occur based on the given probability distribution and the population parameter to be estimated. The critical value for normal distribution is obtained from the z...

Testing a Claim about Mean: Unknown Population SD

6.3K
A complete procedure of testing a hypothesis about a population mean when the population standard deviation is unknown is explained here.
Estimating a population mean requires the samples to be approximately normally distributed. The data should be collected from the randomly selected samples having no sampling bias. There is no specific requirement for sample size. But if the sample size is less than 30, and we don't know the population standard deviation, a different approach is used;...

z Scores and Unusual Values01:07

z Scores and Unusual Values

11.1K
The z score is one of the three measures of relative standing. It describes the location of a value in a dataset relative to the mean. z scores are obtained after the standardization of the values in a dataset. The z score for the mean is 0.
 This score indicates how far a value is from the mean in terms of standard deviation. For example, if a data value has a z score of +1, the researcher can infer that the particular data value is one standard deviation above the mean. If another data...

Absolute and Local Extreme Values01:22

Absolute and Local Extreme Values

91
The highest and lowest values of a function, relative to a reference axis, are known as extreme values. These include absolute maximum and absolute minimum values, which represent the highest and lowest points the function reaches across its entire domain. Within a restricted portion of the function, the highest and lowest values are referred to as local maximum and local minimum values, respectively.Periodic functions, such as sine and cosine, show extreme values at infinitely many points due...

Area of Science:

  • Clinical Informatics
  • Machine Learning in Healthcare
  • Predictive Modeling

Background:

  • Clinical risk models often fail with missing patient data.
  • Accurate prediction of stroke risk in Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is crucial.
  • Electronic Health Record (EHR) data presents challenges due to missing predictor values.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an incremental learning approach for applying existing risk models to new patients with unknown predictor values.
  • To address data imputation challenges in real-world clinical settings.
  • To enhance the performance of a stroke risk prediction model for T2DM patients.

Main Methods:

  • Proposed an incremental learning framework utilizing k-nearest neighbors (k-NN) for data imputation.
  • Developed a stroke risk prediction model using EHR data for T2DM patients.
  • Applied the developed model incrementally to a sequence of new patients, imputing missing values.

Main Results:

  • The stroke risk prediction model demonstrated good predictive performance.
  • The k-NN-based incremental learning imputation method progressively improved prediction accuracy as more patients were processed.
  • The approach effectively handled unknown predictor values in new patient data.

Conclusions:

  • Incremental learning with k-NN imputation is a viable strategy for applying predictive models to patient data with missing values.
  • This method enhances the utility and performance of clinical risk models in dynamic patient populations.
  • The study highlights the potential of adaptive machine learning techniques in improving T2DM stroke risk assessment.
