Medical Decision Support, Fall 2005

Abstract:: Presents the main concepts of decision analysis, artificial intelligence, and predictive model construction and evaluation in the specific context of medical applications. Emphasizes the advantages and disadvantages of using these methods in real-world systems and provides hands-on experience. Technical focus on decision analysis, knowledge-based systems (qualitative and quantitative), learning systems (including logistic regression, classification trees, neural networks), and techniques to evaluate the performance of such systems. Students produce a final project using the methods learned in the subject, based on actual clinical data. (Required for students in the Master's Program in Medical Informatics, but open to other graduate students and advanced undergraduates.)
