Bayesian analysis, pattern analysis, and data mining in health care

Purpose of reviewTo discuss the current role of data mining and Bayesian methods in biomedicine and heath care, in particular critical care. Recent findingsBayesian networks and other probabilistic graphical models are beginning to emerge as methods for discovering patterns in biomedical data and also as a basis for the representation of the uncertainties underlying clinical decision-making. At the same time, techniques from machine learning are being used to solve biomedical and health-care problems. SummaryWith the increasing availability of biomedical and health-care data with a wide range of characteristics there is an increasing need to use methods which allow modeling the uncertainties that come with the problem, are capable of dealing with missing data, allow integrating data from various sources, explicitly indicate statistical dependence and independence, and allow integrating biomedical and clinical background knowledge. These requirements have given rise to an influx of new methods into the field of data analysis in health care, in particular from the fields of machine learning and probabilistic graphical models.
