Blood pressure (BP) is an important vital sign to determine the health of an individual. Although the estimation of average arterial blood pressure using oscillometric methods is possible, there are no established methods for obtaining confidence intervals (CIs) for systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP). In this paper, we propose a two-step pseudomaximum amplitude (TSPMA) as a novel approach to obtain improved CIs of SBP and DBP using a double bootstrap approach. The weighted median (WM) filter is employed to reduce impulsive and Gaussian noises in the step of preprocessing. Application of the proposed method provides tighter CIs and smaller standard deviation of CIs than the pseudomaximum amplitude-envelope and maximum amplitude algorithms with Student’st-method.

The monitors of oscillometry blood pressure measurements are generally utilized to measure blood pressure for many subjects at hospitals, homes, and office, and they are actively studied. These monitors usually provide a single blood pressure point, and they are not able to indicate the confidence interval of the measured quantity. In this paper, we propose a new technique using a recursive ensemble based on a support vector machine to estimate a confidence interval for oscillometry blood pressure measurements. The recursive ensemble is based on a support vector machine that is used to effectively estimate blood pressure and then measure the confidence interval for the systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure. The recursive ensemble methodology provides a lower standard deviation of error, mean error, and mean absolute error for the blood pressure as compared to those of the conventional techniques.

In this paper, we proposed a bootstrap approach to construct the confidence interval of quantiles for current status data, which is computationally simple and efficient without estimating nuisance parameters. The reasonability of the proposed method is verified by the well performance presented in the extensive simulation study. We also analyzed a real data set as illustration.
