In this first edition book, methods are discussed for doing inference in Bayesian networks and inference diagrams. Hundreds of examples and problems allow readers to grasp the information. Some of the topics discussed include Pearl's message passing algorithm, Parameter Learning: 2 Alternatives, Parameter Learning r Alternatives, Bayesian Structure Learning, and Constraint-Based Learning. For expert systems developers and decision theorists.
Medical and information communication technology professionals are working to develop robust classification techniques, especially in healthcare data/image analysis, to ensure quick diagnoses and treatments to patients. Without fast and immediate access to healthcare databases and information, medical professionals’ success rates and treatment options become limited and fall to disastrous levels. Advanced Classification Techniques for Healthcare Analysis provides emerging insight into classification techniques in delivering quality, accurate, and affordable healthcare, while also discussing the impact health data has on medical treatments. Featuring coverage on a broad range of topics such as early diagnosis, brain-computer interface, metaheuristic algorithms, clustering techniques, learning schemes, and mobile telemedicine, this book is ideal for medical professionals, healthcare administrators, engineers, researchers, academicians, and technology developers seeking current research on furthering information and communication technology that improves patient care.

The healthcare industry is increasingly complex, demanding personalized treatments and efficient operational processes. Traditional research methods need help to keep pace with these demands, often leading to inefficiencies and suboptimal outcomes. Integrating digital twin technology presents a promising solution to these challenges, offering a virtual platform for modeling and simulating complex healthcare scenarios. However, the full potential of digital twins still needs to be explored mainly due to a lack of comprehensive guidance and practical insights for researchers and practitioners. Exploring the Advancements and Future Directions of Digital Twins in Healthcare 6.0 is not just a theoretical exploration. It is a practical guide that bridges the gap between theory and practice, offering real-world case studies, best practices, and insights into personalized medicine, real-time patient monitoring, and healthcare process optimization. By equipping you with the knowledge and tools needed to effectively integrate digital twins into your healthcare research and operations, this book is a valuable resource for researchers, academicians, medical practitioners, scientists, and students.
In the past decade, a number of different research communities within the computational sciences have studied learning in networks, starting from a number of different points of view. There has been substantial progress in these different communities and surprising convergence has developed between the formalisms. The awareness of this convergence and the growing interest of researchers in understanding the essential unity of the subject underlies the current volume. Two research communities which have used graphical or network formalisms to particular advantage are the belief network community and the neural network community. Belief networks arose within computer science and statistics and were developed with an emphasis on prior knowledge and exact probabilistic calculations. Neural networks arose within electrical engineering, physics and neuroscience and have emphasised pattern recognition and systems modelling problems. This volume draws together researchers from these two communities and presents both kinds of networks as instances of a general unified graphical formalism. The book focuses on probabilistic methods for learning and inference in graphical models, algorithm analysis and design, theory and applications. Exact methods, sampling methods and variational methods are discussed in detail. Audience: A wide cross-section of computationally oriented researchers, including computer scientists, statisticians, electrical engineers, physicists and neuroscientists.
