CTBN-PH: A continuous-time Bayesian network for individualised diagnostic risk prediction

Guillem Hernández Guillamet, Francesc López Seguí, Josep Vidal‐Alaball

Continuous-time Bayesian networks (CTBNs) are powerful tools for modelling and predicting complex disease trajectories in continuous-time scenarios. However, their application is often limited by a lack of individualisation in the results, if the covariates significantly influence a patient's diagnostic transitions. To address …

CCLR-DL: A novel statistics and deep learning hybrid method for feature selection and forecasting healthcare demand

Guillem Hernández Guillamet, Francesc López Seguí, Josep Vidal‐Alaball

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Hybrid forecasting methods aim to overcome the limitations of classical statistical approaches and deep learning models. While statistical methods provide interpretability, they often lack predictive power. Conversely, deep learning models achieve high accuracy but act as "black boxes." This …
