Background. The majority of modern dynamic processes in economy, finances, ecology, technologies and many other areas of studies exhibit short- and long-term nonlinear and nonstationary behavior. That is why it is required to create for their thorough analysis modern highly developed specialized instrumentation providing for appropriate preliminary statistical data processing, simulation state and parameter estimation and quality forecasting their evolution in time to be used in decision support systems (DSS). Objective. The purpose of the paper is to perform introductory analysis of some modern methods for filtering statistical and experimental data; to consider modern filtering techniques on the basis of probabilistic Bayesian approach, that provide a possibility for preparing the data to adequate simulation, computing high quality state and forecast estimates for dynamic systems in stochastic environment and availability of measurement errors. Methods. To implement modern data filtering techniques appropriate simulation and optimization procedures, probabilistic Bayesian methods of data analysis are utilized; simulation algorithms for parameter estimation, and criteria bases for analyzing quality of intermediate and final results in the frames of DSS are used. Results. A set of data filtering techniques is presented to be used together with the models describing formally selected processes dynamics. The methodology is considered for implementation of probabilistic Bayesian filter based upon modern statistical data analysis techniques including application of appropriate simulation procedures. Conclusions. Development of effective means for simulation, state estimation and forecasting dynamics of nonlinear nonstationary processes in various areas of human activities provides a possibility for high quality state and parameter estimation and compute short and middle term forecasts for their future evolution. The methods of optimal Kalman and probabilistic Bayesian filtering considered in the review provide a possibility for performing appropriate analysis of nonlinear nonstationary processes, compute forecasts and provide for managerial decision support on the basis of the forecast estimates.

AbstractClinical decision support (CDS) includes a variety of tools and interventions computerized as well as non- computerized. High-quality clinical decision support systems (CDSS), computerized CDS, are essential to achieve the full benefits of electronic health records and computerized physician order entry. A CDSS can take into account all data available in the EHR making it possible to notice changes outside the scope of the professional and notice changes specific for a certain patient, within normal limits. However, to use of CDSS in practice, it is important to understand the basic requirements of these systems.This chapter shows in what way CDSS can support the use of clinical data science in daily clinical practice. Moreover, it explains what types of CDSS are available and how such systems can be used. However, to achieve high-quality CDSS which is effective in use requires thoughtful design, implementation and critical evaluation. Therefore, challenges surrounding implementation of a CDSS are discussed, as well as a strategies to develop and validate CDSS.

Farmers sell corn kernels in the company of PT Charoen Pokphan Indonesia Tbk Medan, corn kernels are used to mix feed ingredients to meet the protein values and nutrition of these feeds to be of high quality. The company PT Charoen Pokphan Indonesia Tbk Medan buys corn kernels to farmers by specifying the best quality corn kernels, so they know the total price of corn kernels is in accordance with the quality needed. This research determines the criteria of the best quality types of corn kernels and how to apply the Multi Attribute Utility Theory to decision support systems to determine the quality of corn kernels, to be able to help the company PT Charoen Pokphan Indonesia Tbk Medan in determining the quality of corn kernels. Based on the criteria set out in the company PT Charoen Pokphan Indonesia Tbk Medan to obtain the best quality corn kernels using grade 1 to grade 4 and ranking. The results of testing these methods are produced a decision on an alternative with a total value of 86.7%. So this method is needed to evaluate the determination of the best quality corn kernels to produce the best decisions

Square-IT and Plan-Merge are software agents which assist in the process of creating manufacturing plans for small batch prismatic machined parts. Squaring is the process of generating a sequence of operations that prepares the stock so all surfaces are parallel or perpendicular to each other. Most automated process planning programs, and many machinists, perform squaring as a separate process completed prior to manufacturing the part. Although this practice simplifies planning, many opportunities for efficiency are lost when squaring and shaping the part into its final form are achieved in two completely separate plans. A far more efficient plan (i.e. fewer setups) can be achieved when squaring and feature cutting are treated as two types of operations included in a single, more globally efficient plan. Square-IT and Plan-Merge together perform this process of merging these two types of operations. The efficiency savings are dramatic. Setups can be reduced by 10 to 40 percent. Reducing set-ups also increases accuracy of the part by reducing opportunities for error. In future work we hope to adapt Square-IT and Plan-Merge so that they can be used as training tools that teach proper squaring and planning efficiency principles.

Abstract Objective The study sought to describe the literature describing clinical reasoning ontology (CRO)–based clinical decision support systems (CDSSs) and identify and classify the medical knowledge and reasoning concepts and their properties within these ontologies to guide future research. Methods MEDLINE, Scopus, and Google Scholar were searched through January 30, 2019, for studies describing CRO-based CDSSs. Articles that explored the development or application of CROs or terminology were selected. Eligible articles were assessed for quality features of both CDSSs and CROs to determine the current practices. We then compiled concepts and properties used within the articles. Results We included 38 CRO-based CDSSs for the analysis. Diversity of the purpose and scope of their ontologies was seen, with a variety of knowledge sources were used for ontology development. We found 126 unique medical knowledge concepts, 38 unique reasoning concepts, and 240 unique properties (137 relationships and 103 attributes). Although there is a great diversity among the terms used across CROs, there is a significant overlap based on their descriptions. Only 5 studies described high quality assessment. Conclusion We identified current practices used in CRO development and provided lists of medical knowledge concepts, reasoning concepts, and properties (relationships and attributes) used by CRO-based CDSSs. CRO developers reason that the inclusion of concepts used by clinicians’ during medical decision making has the potential to improve CDSS performance. However, at present, few CROs have been used for CDSSs, and high-quality studies describing CROs are sparse. Further research is required in developing high-quality CDSSs based on CROs.
