3 Objective The development and comparison of electrocardiography (EKG) algorithms for the detection of physiological conditions that will aid in the prediction of Medical Emergency Team (MET) calls. MET Calls: When a patient s physiology breach certain parameters that represent severe deterioration. EKG Interpretation: Finds the cause of symptoms of heart disease, such as shortness of breath, dizziness, fainting, or rapid, irregular heartbeats (palpitations) Nicholas Napoli (UVa) Multicomponent EKG Fusion August 10, / 33

4 An Ideal Employed EKG Algorithm 1 Should provide reliable detection of each cardiac cycle 2 The temporal reference location of the cycle should be accurate Nicholas Napoli (UVa) Multicomponent EKG Fusion August 10, / 33

5 Common Employed Approaches 1 Power Spectrum Analysis 2 Non-Syntactic Algorithm Differentiation Technique Thresholding 3 Template Matching Techniques Template Cross Correlation Template Subtraction Automata-Based Template Matching Nicholas Napoli (UVa) Multicomponent EKG Fusion August 10, / 33

10 Downfalls 1 Lead information can be unreliable 2 Typically we make a decision based on one designated lead 3 There is no uncertainty present in the decision Nicholas Napoli (UVa) Multicomponent EKG Fusion August 10, / 33

11 Conceptual Overview of Dempster-Shafer (DS) Theory DS Theory has an ability to handle imperfect data (Conflict) DS Theory is an approach to combining evidence Each part of Evidence has a degree of support between 0 and 1 0 No support is given to the evidence 1 Full support is given to the evidence It s a generalization of probability theory The axiom of additivity is relaxed in DS theory Belief in the evidence and its complement do not need to sum to 1 Both values can be 0 (Therefore no evidence for or against the fact) DS theory allows supports to be assigned to the complete power set of possibilities It s framework handles uncertainty Nicholas Napoli (UVa) Multicomponent EKG Fusion August 10, / 33

12 DS Theory: Frame of Discernment or Power Set Set of possible conclusion: Θ Θ = {θ 1, θ 2,... θ n, } where: Θ is the set of possible conclusions to be drawn Each θ i is mutually exclusive: at most one has to be true Θ is exhaustive: At least one θ i has to be true Differences between Bayes and DS Theory: Bayes was concerned with evidence that supported single conclusions (e.g., evidence for each outcome θ i in Θ ) D-S Theory is concerned with evidences which support subsets of outcomes in Θ, e.g., {θ 1, θ 2, θ 3 } Nicholas Napoli (UVa) Multicomponent EKG Fusion August 10, / 33

13 DS Theory: Frame of Discernment or Power Set The frame of discernment (or Power set) of Θ is the set of all possible subsets of Θ: E.g., if Θ = {θ 1, θ 2, θ 3 } Then the frame of discernment of Θ is: {, θ 1, θ 2, θ 3, {θ 1, θ 2 }, {θ 2, θ 3 }, {θ 1, θ 3 }, {θ 1, θ 2, θ 3 }}, the empty set, has a probability of 0, since one of the outcomes has to be true. Each of the other elements in the power set has a probability between 0 and 1. The probability of Θ = {θ 1, θ 2, θ 3 } is 1.0 since one has to be true Nicholas Napoli (UVa) Multicomponent EKG Fusion August 10, / 33

14 Basic Probability Assignment (BPA) The mass function (m(a))or BPA is a given member of the power set. Theorem (Basic Probability Assignment (BPA)) m( ) = 0; m(a i ) = 1. (1) A i 2 Ω Nicholas Napoli (UVa) Multicomponent EKG Fusion August 10, / 33

15 Dempster Shafer Evidence Evidence is required in order to develop a mass function. Evidence is then fused to dynamically update the mass function. Aids in the mass functions reduction of uncertainty Aids in the redistributing the mass to the propositions. Nicholas Napoli (UVa) Multicomponent EKG Fusion August 10, / 33

16 Combining Evidence Dempster s Combination Rule (DCR) m 1 (A p ) m 2 (A q ) A p A q=a i m(a i ) = m 1 (A p ) m 2 (A q ), (2) A p A q= where the evidence provided by the mass functions m 1 and m 2 are combined to get the fused mass function m. This is usually denoted as m = m 1 m 2. (3) Nicholas Napoli (UVa) Multicomponent EKG Fusion August 10, / 33

17 DS Application to Patient Diagnostics Consider a medical diagnosis problem in which we have four mutually exclusive hypotheses: C(Common Cold) F(flu) M(Meningitis) N(No Problem) Thus, the Power Set is Θ = {C, F, M, N}. Fever Evidence: m1(x ) Let us assume the evidence provided is from medical cases that support: m 1 ({C, F }) =.5 m 1 ({M}) =.2 m1({θ}) =.3 Nicholas Napoli (UVa) Multicomponent EKG Fusion August 10, / 33

18 DS Application to Patient Diagnostics Nausea Evidence 2: m 2 (X ) Let us assume additional evidence provided and that it is supported from previous medical cases: m 2 ({C, F, N}) =.7 m 2 ({Θ}) =.3 Since, new information is provided we can make a better informed decision by applying an evidence fusion technique(dcr). m 1 BPA m 2 BPA Intersection Product { C,F }.5 { C,F,N }.7 { C,F }.35 { C,F }.5 { Θ }.3 { C,F }.15 { M }.2 { C,F,N }.7 { }.14 { M }.2 { Θ }.3 { M }.06 { Θ }.3 { C,F,N }.7 { C,F,N }.21 { Θ }.3 { Θ }.3 { Θ }.09 Nicholas Napoli (UVa) Multicomponent EKG Fusion August 10, / 33

19 DS Application to Patient Diagnostics New BPA: m 3 = m 1 m 2. Provided by the empty set the normalizing factor is 1.14 =.86 m3({c, F }) = ( ).86 =.581 m3({m}) = (.06).86 =.07 m3({c, F, N}) (.21).86 =.244 m3({θ}) (.09).86 =.104 If further evidence was provided m 4, such as possible blood results we could then produce an additional new BPA, where m 5 = m 3 m 4.
